    The Perfect Valentine's Day Chocolate Dessert!

    This Chocolate coffee Ganache cake is super easy and fun to make. Grab your partner or loved one and have them make it with you!

    It’s a fun way to spend time together. Get the entire family involved, as this is a fun, family-friendly activity.

    You will need a 10-13-inch tart pan (I suggest using a ceramic one) and a glass with a flat wide bottom to help shape the crust.

    Dark Chocolate Coffee Ganache

    The chocolate ganache tart will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days. I suggest eating it right away, as it's best enjoyed as fresh as possible. Milk chocolate coffee ganache is so good, you won't need to visit a restaurant for a fancy dessert! Espresso chocolate ganache is one of the best dessert recipes!

    You can also make white chocolate ganache using this recipes, simply swap out the dark chocolate chips for white chocolate chips.

    Whip up some heavy whipping cream to the right consistency and top with the chocolate coffee ganache with some coffee granules and homemade whip cream for an extra delicious treat!

    Coffee Ganache recipe tastes wonderfully the next day for a breakfast treat with a hot cup of coffee.

    Think of this like a coffee cake with chocolate ganache and coffee which is totally justifiable for a breakfast meal.

    The Crust For Chocolate Coffee Ganache

    It take 10 minutes to prepare the crust for chocolate ganache recipe.

    Grab your apron, get comfy in your kitchen and let's get baking!

    Step 1: The first step to make this cake recipe is preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit.

    Step 2: Using a food processor, break up the Graham crackers and place them in the bowl of a food processor, if using. Pulse until the crackers are pulsed into fine crumbs.

    If you don't have a food processor, simply crush the graham crackers in a wide bowl using the bottom of a glass.

    Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the prepared Graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and the melted butter. Crumbs should be slightly dry.

    Step 4: Press the crumb crust mixture into the 13-inch tart pan. (Use a glass to do this more easily flatten the crumbs mixture into the tart pan.)

    Step 5: Place the prepared tart pan on a silicone-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the tart pan from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes.

    Step 6: Place the semisweet chocolate in a glass bowl and set aside.
    In a medium saucepan, mix the butter and heavy cream on low heat until combined. Do not let the heavy cream curdle. You’ll know the heavy cream is ready when it starts to boil.

    Step 7: Immediately pour the heavy and butter mixture over the chocolate and combine. Use a spatula to combine the chocolate and heavy cream mixture. Add in the espresso and vanilla extract and combine everything again. This step takes time; be patient with it.

    The chocolate will be nice and smooth when everything is combined.
    Step 8: Pour the chocolate mixture slowly into the 13-inch chocolate tart crust and refrigerate it for at-least two hours (2-4 hours is ideal.)

      The chocolate espresso ganache is delicious! Have made it for our guests yesterday, and it was a hit! And I made a second tart as well, without espresso, so that the kids did not come up short!
