According to Merriam-Webster, the use of the word ‘ganache’ as a noun signifying the creamy chocolate deliciousness we know it as today, first came about in 1977. It’s a French word that literally translated means jowl—the lower part of your jaw. (It’s a spin off of the Italian ganascia and modification of the Greek gnathos, which both also refer to the lower part of your jaw.
Pretty strange if you ask me. I’m not sure if it’s a reference to the fact that the flavor of good ganache makes you drop your jaw out of amazement or a more primal desire to eat more, More, MORE!
Maybe you should try some out and tell me your impressions.
Here’s a link to a simple recipe.
