  <short_description>Cream and chocolate filling</short_description>
  <long_description>Ganache is a cream and chocolate filling that can also be used as icing or made into truffles.</long_description>
  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>This classic pastry filling is nothing more than chocolate and cream, yet its uses are endless. Most commonly it&#8217;s warmed up and poured over cake as an icing or chilled down and scooped into balls to form truffles. At room temperature we like it best as a luscious filling for <a href="/recipes/12279">caramel apples</a>.</p>


	<p><strong>Game plan:</strong> The ganache can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.</p>]]>
