Chocolate Ganache Mini Tarts – mini treats with a chocolate crust, ganache filling and topped with fresh whipped cream and strawberry hearts. Sweet and delicious!

CHOCOLATE GANACHE MINI TARTS

Mini treats that are small in size yet truly decadent are perfect for celebrations or those days when you want to treat yourself just because. These mini tarts are super easy to make and so adorable! To finish them off, I added whipped cream and a sprinkle of edible glitter hearts. My daughters loved the sugar hearts so much and were looking for ways to use the tiny heart cookie cutter. Slices of strawberries were a perfect base for the tiny decorations. And you can add them to your morning breakfast any day for a cheerful start! 🙂

Chocolate Ganache Heart Cake

Chocolate Ganache Cake – one layer chocolate cake, covered with ganache and sugar hearts. Perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day!

CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE

This cake requires one bowl. It’s one layer, easy to decorate and absolutely delicious. I used this heart cake pan. If you don’t have a heart pan, don’t worry. You can make it in an 8″ round pan and it will still come out looking gorgeous. I hope you are on board with the ganache. It’s ridiculously easy to make and so much better than frosting. Try it once, and you will want to make it over and over. I also used my sugar hearts as an additional decoration here, but you can use raspberries or strawberries or simply skip this step. It’s all up to you. Just have fun! That’s what this is all about!

Chocolate cupcakes for two – the best recipe for two cupcakes filled with fluffy filling and topped with chocolate ganache frosting!

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES FOR TWO

Can I just say it took me about a dozen tries to get them just like I wanted? Yep, a dozen times. I tried many different recipes for just two cupcakes but none of them were what I wanted. My goal was to make two of the best chocolate cupcakes we have ever had and that they would be easy to make to boot. I wanted them big and tall. I wanted them so utterly chocolatey – it would make you weak in your knees! You may also like my Chocolate Mug Cake for Two! It’s amazing!
