This looks so yummy that I felt compelled though I had no good excuse...but I'm confused. 1cup chopped choc to 1 c cream seems a pretty high cream to choc ratio, certainly way higher than the ratio you link to here for your basic ganache recipe. I made a batch and it was way too thin, never became shape-able, just a thick liquid that just spread into a puddle on the plate when I tried to portion it out. Would up whipping it up for icing on the leftover cupcakes but now that I'm trying this one more time I'm hesitating to use those same proportions (w my merckens this time) and expect a different result.. Are we sure you mean 1 cup chopped choc to 1c cream? So works out to 4-5 ounces choc to 8 ounces cream? Don't see how that will set to a shape-able ganache..
