Easy Ganache Topped Brownies Recipe
Here's another great idea for taking something really easy - a box of brownie mix - and dressing it up to make it special. These are brownies that I cut with round cutter and then topped with ganache and a fresh raspberries.Ganache is one of those things that sounds complicated but is really simple. It's just a combination of hot cream and chocolate stirred together until smooth and shiny. Sometimes a little butter is added for extra shininess.
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate brownies, baked according to the package instructions (I live Betty Crocker and Ghirardelli brands)
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or your favorite dark chocolate, chopped (6 ounces)
- Fresh raspberries for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat to just below boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth. Set aside until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 15 minutes.
- While the ganache cools, cut the cooled brownies into desired shape with a knife or small cookie or biscuit cutter.
- Spoon the chocolate ganache mixture onto each brownie and garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.
