Chocolate Ganache made with evaporated milk

Fudgy Brownies are good without frosting but for an extra special treat I topped them with a layer of creamy chocolate ganacehe. However, instead of using heavy cream (I had none on hand), I used evaporated milk and it worked just like the cream! Growing up on a farm, we learned to use replacements and this blog contains a  Mixes and More section (listed in the heading above) that includes substitutions along with homemade mixes.

Chocolate Ganache made with evaporated milk

1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet) 

1/3 cup evaporated milk 

1/3 cup butter

  1. Place chocolate chips into a small bowl. 
  2. In a microwave safe measuring cup, heat evaporated milk in 30 second intervals until it comes to a boil. 
  3. Add this hot milk to the chocolate chips and cover with plastic wrap; let set for 30 seconds and then stir. 
  4. Add butter and stir until everything has dissolved completely. Let cool until spreading consistency is achieved.
