I have used this ganache for a number of things… Vegan Chocolate Cake, Double Baked White Chocolate Cheesecake.. and some other desserts including Banana Cream Pie. It’s handy to have in the fridge (it hardens up when refrigerated.) Continue reading
So the beautiful and talented Katy Warren is not a big cake fan. She likes pie. LOVES pie. For her birthday, I wasn’t sure what kind of pie to make… so I made two. Also, I use the word “so” a lot.
