1 1/2 Cups Sugar
2 Sticks Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Essence

Procedure:

until it is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add in the vanilla

Ganache
Ingredients:
two 4-ounce quality semi-sweet chocolate bars (113g each), finely chopped (see note about
using white chocolate)*
1 cup (8 ounces; 240ml) heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
Procedure:
1. Place chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan
over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer. (Do not let it come to a rapid boil–
that's too hot!) Pour over chocolate, then let it sit for 2-3 minutes to gently soften the
chocolate.
2. With a metal spoon or small rubber spatula, very slowly stir until completely combined and
chocolate has melted. The finer you chopped the chocolate, the quicker it will melt with the
cream. If it's not melting, do not microwave it. See Troubleshooting Chocolate Ganache in
blog post above.
3. Ganache can be ready to use as a drizzle or you can let it sit at room temperature to cool
and thicken. It will fully cool within 2 hours. Refrigerating speeds this up, but the ganache
will not cool evenly. Stir it a few times as it sets in the refrigerator so it remains even
and smooth.
4. Once completely cool and thick, the ganache can be piped with a piping tip or scooped with
a spoon. You can also beat the cooled thickened ganache with a handheld or stand mixer
fitted with a whisk attachment until light in color and texture, about 4 minutes on
medium-high speed.
5. Cover tightly and store ganache in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Once ganache cools
completely, you can cover it tightly and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw in the
refrigerator. To rewarm or thin out again, stir constantly over low heat on the stove in
either (1) a double boiler or (2) in a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water.
Don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the simmering water.

2. Transfer the gelatin mixture to the microwave and microwave until the gelatin
is fully dissolved, this will just take a few seconds. Stir the mixture, then set
aside to cool.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large
mixing bowl using an electric mixer, combine the heavy whipping cream,
powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture until it starts to thicken
and soft peaks form, then turn the mixer to low speed. Slowly pour in the
gelatin mixture until well combined. Increase the mixer to medium speed and
continue mixing until stiff peaks form.
