Though it may sound complex, ganache—a classic French combination of melted chocolate and heavy cream—is easy to make. Baker extraordinaire Greg Case and food writer Keri Fisher share an even easier technique for making it in a food processor. Then they show off ganache’s versatility by using it to make four chocolate treats, ranging from rich hot chocolate and gooey fudge sauce to a mousse-like torte and homemade truffles that are guaranteed to impress your valentine.
You can also use the interactive Recipe Maker to create a one-of-a-kind chocolate trufffle recipe. Choose from milk, semisweet, and white chocolate. Then select your flavorings and coatings. You can save, print, and share your recipe with a friend.
