The end product, after nearly doubling the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup, and even after cooling to below room temp, was just runny, thinner than cake batter. I double and triple-checked everything I measured. I must've missed some magic in there somewhere... Still, it was delicious! ~KQ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11357954350518990101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58523393792551629.post-43020649551592607652013-02-15T15:29:54.785-08:002013-02-15T15:29:54.785-08:00I'm actually not sure why you had a problem.

I too was nervous at the qty of cream in David's recipe, so I increased it by 2 oz, and it set up beautifully, though I did have to give it time to let it cool completely. You did include the corn syrup, right?Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04713824685051007635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58523393792551629.post-19483944509617985192013-02-15T14:58:10.638-08:002013-02-15T14:58:10.638-08:00Thanks!

I have a question on the icing (as long as I have your attention...) ;)<br />I'm an experienced baker, and I was surprised to read that the icing was similar to my chocolate ganache, except that it had <i>four times</i> the amount of cream. (Mine calls for a quarter cup, and sets up to be fairly stiff.) The only way I could make this recipe work was to double the other ingredients, and it still didn't set up, even in the freezer. I ended up pouring it into the mixer and whipping it until it was spreadable. I can't figure out what went wrong!~KQ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11357954350518990101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58523393792551629.post-81749835236903210132013-02-08T11:59:56.987-08:002013-02-08T11:59:56.987-08:00That's a good question, as long as you heat th...That's a good question, as long as you heat the chocolate and the water at the same time, surprisingly it actually works out.
