Espresso Ganache

Drescription

This coffee-infused frosting tastes just like the thick, creamy chocolate mixture inside a chocolate truffle.

Ingredients

18 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into 3/4-inch pieces
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 1/2 tablespoons kahlúa

Directions

Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the cream until bubbles appear around the edge; remove from the heat. Add the espresso powder and stir to dissolve. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate until melted and smooth. Stir in the Kahlúa. Let the ganache stand at room temperature until firm enough to spread.

Lunch

Cucumber & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Wrap

This easy vegetarian wrap makes a great grab-and-go lunch for work or school. Roasted red pepper hummus adds color and a little extra flavor, but any flavor hummus will work well here. Cucumber, sprouts, salad greens or spinach all add a refreshing crunch. For a peppery kick, try using arugula.

BBQ & Grill

Creamy Chicken Brussels Sprouts & Mushrooms One Pot Pasta

You’ll only have to dirty one pot in this easy pasta recipe that cooks chicken and vegetables right along with the noodles. Plus, by using the exact amount of water you need to cook the pasta, the starch that usually gets drained off with your pasta water stays in the pot, giving you delectably creamy results.
