This makes a lot of ganache. I couldn't get the "peaks" to form, but it was delicious.12/25/07

The recipe in the Dec. '06 issue has a typo. It calls for 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream, but the online recipe amount of 1/2 cup is the correct one. I'm glad I read the reviews before preparing. What a stunning ganache recipe!!! I will definitely do this one again - and again.02/21/07
