Raspberry Ganache Tart Recipe

when you think of Ganache, decadence and chocolate come to mind. Perfect for an easy dessert or simply on its own, it’s a sure crowd-pleaser!

Ganache has always been one of my go-tos for on-the-go desserts. Versatile and delicious, Ganache can be used in tarts, paired with ice-cream, as a cake filling, in trifles or even on its own as truffles. Simply adjust the consistency by chilling it or adding more cream, you can use Ganache in multiple applications.

The simple rule-of-thumb is generally a 1:1 ratio of Chocolate and Whipping cream, while stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
