ganache
Definition: [gahn-AHSH] A rich chocolate icing made of semisweet chocolate
and whipping cream that are heated and stirred together until the chocolate
has melted. The mixture is cooled until lukewarm and poured over a cake or
torte.
Ganache soufflé is made from the same base but often includes a table-
spoon or so of rum or cognac. When cooled to room temperature, the mixture
is whipped to approximately twice its original volume. Whereas ganache is
used to glaze cakes, pastries and tortes, ganache soufflé is generally used
to fill them.
