    It's only runny while it's hot. It has to sit in the fridge for a while before it'll firm up. Then you can use it as a glaze. Hop that clears things up.

    I love your recipes and although this tastes great it was very watery and was not A glaze. More like a thin syrup. I would not consider the "As is" portion of this recipe for anything. I was hoping for a thick coating of nice ganache What I got instead was a mess. I followed the recipe to the letter so its not like I screwed it up! Like I said before, I love your recipes but this one is not for me!

    Previous poster was right - never buy frosting again.

    Just DON'T put it in the fridge after you whip it up - it gets crusty hard. Whip it up and use it as frosting right away. It tastes like the thick, less-sweet frosting you taste on expensive restaurant and coffee shop cakes.

    Then, take the leftover, roll into balls and roll in confectioner sugar, cocoa powder, nuts, coconut,etc and put in the fridge for the pseudo-truffles. Mmmmm mmmm.

    I made the ganache and whipped it into a fluffy frosting to top a buttermilk chocolate cake. Just make sure you chill the frosting a bit before you serve it up because I found it was not firm enough right after being made. After a few hours in the refrigerator though it was perfect.

    I used 8 oz. Bakers semi-sweet chocolate and 1 cup of heavy cream. Just took the instructions and halved everything. If you follow the directions and dont over pulse you will have no problems. Just for fun I did add a little instant espresso to the ganache. We found that xtra refrigerated ganache makes excellent truffles.

    I followed the directions for the lighter frosting and whisked it. It was so good I kept what was left over and made truffles out of it.

    I made this ganache frosting twice. Once when I did NOT follow the recipe (and it was not great and once when I DID follow the recipe and it was sublime.

    Follow the recipe carefully and you will not be disappointed.
