These Ganache Fudge Brownies were made by Dwight Penney while he was pastry chef at The Fairmont’s Fl.2 restaurant. During that time, he appeared in the Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship Season 6. Dig into this chocolatey goodness and enjoy its fudgy center and the sweet chocolate ganache on top.
Tips for Making Chocolate Ganache
Achieving the ideal ganache texture requires careful attention to detail. Start by using high-quality chocolate with a minimum of 35% cocoa butter for a rich, smooth result. Heat the cream just to a simmer, avoiding boiling, as this can seize the chocolate. When pouring the hot cream over the chocolate, resist the urge to stir immediately; let the heat from the cream melt the chocolate gradually for the best texture.
