I made a batch of ganache on Saturday, and it failed to set up. I know what went wrong, I didn't chop my chocolate finely enough, so it didn't all melt before the cream cooled. (Not that I found that out until later. :) But it didn't set and didn't set, and I had no more of that chocolate to reseed the ganache. So I poured it into the stand mixer bowl and whipped it up into chocolate chocolate chip mousse. And it's delicious. :D But since I have promised truffles to friends, I will be making a new batch this weekend, and going back to my normal habit of mixing the ganache in the double boiler (because my house is very cold and makes the cream cool too fast.)
