    Chocolate icing sans icing sugar!

    Went to ice my beloved banana cake, which HAS to have chocolate icing with coconut....

    Yep no icing sugar.

    What are some alternatives for chocolate icing for me?

    Please please please help me

    200g dark chocolate
    160g cream

    = chocolate ganache.

    you can halve that, but I think more is better than less

    Do I just whisk it together in a saucepan?

    Heat up the cream first. Chop the chocolate finally and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for 5 mins then stir till combined. Perfect ganache. Every time.
