Heart Ganache from Cooking Mama

Recipe by nana pastriesCourse: DessertDifficulty: Easy

Recreating cooking mama’s iconic heart ganache. This is a no-bake recipe~

Ingredients:

  • Crust
  • 175g graham crackers

  • 6 tbsp (84g) unsalted butter, melted

  • Ganache
  • 200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

  • 300ml heavy cream

  • Decoration
  • Star and pearl sprinkles

  • Pink chocolate hearts

Instructions:

  • Make the Crust:
  • Use a 6” heart-shaped ring mold for the cake. To create a base, mark the heart mold on a piece of cardboard, cut it out, and line it with aluminum foil.
  • In a food processor, grind the graham crackers into a fine powder. Add melted butter to the crumbs and mix until well combined.
  • Press the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared heart ring mold to form the crust. Place it in the fridge while you prepare the ganache.
  • Prepare the Ganache:
  • Place the chopped chocolate in a large, heat proof mixing bowl. Boil water in a pot and then place the mixing bowl with chocolate on top to create a double boiler. Melt the chocolate, whisking constantly.
  • Pour the cream over the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth and glossy.
  • Pour the ganache over the prepared crust in the mold. Carefully place it in the freezer overnight to set.
  • Decoration:
  • Once the ganache has set, decorate it with sprinkles and pink chocolate hearts.
    *To make the heart-shaped chocolates, I melted a mix of white+red melting wafers and poured them into the hearts of this silicone mold*
  • To unmold the cake, place a glass under the heart ganache (touching the cardboard base) and carefully lower the heart ring mold.
  • Enjoy!~
