A very simple frosting but very rich would be a ganache.


Chocolate Ganache:


2 Cups Whipping cream


16 ounces Semi sweet chocolate, chopped


2 Tb liqueur your choice of flavors, almond, raspberry, orange. Or use vanilla extract.


Put chocolate in a mixing bowl.


Place cream in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir often so it does not scorch.


Pour hot cream over the chocolate, let sit for a few minutes. Stir until chocolate has melted and is a nice smooth consistency.


Depending on how you want to use the frosting do any of the following.


To pour over cake and have cake drenched in the chocolate as a glaze Allow the ganache to cool for about 30 minutes, pour over cake Leave until chocolate sets.


Frosting: Let ganache stant for about 3-4 hours or until soft spreading consistency. Spread over cake.


Whipped Frosting. Place beaters in the refrigerator when you begin. Place bowl of ganache in refrigerator UNCOVERED keep refrigerated for 2-3 hours. Whip ganache until it becomes light in color and fluffy.


This should make enough to frost a 8 or 9 inch round layer cake.





This recipe also makes very good truffles. So you do not have to worry about unused ganache.
