Ganache
Ganache is a rich chocolate-based mixture, traditionally made from chocolate and cream and used as a filling, frosting or truffle coating in many European and patisserie-style desserts. It is energy-dense at 451kcal per 100g and is notable for a high fat and sugar content, with much of the fat as saturated fat due to the dairy and cocoa butter. While cocoa brings some antioxidant compounds typical of chocolate, ganache is best enjoyed in small amounts because of its concentrated calories and sugar.
