Servings 1 serving
Ingredients
- 3 slices of pound cake about 1/2" thick I used Entenmann's All Butter Loaf
- Pastry Cream chilled
Chocolate Ganache:
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare Pastry Cream and chill until ready to use.
Chocolate Ganache:
- Place the chocolate in a glass, heat proof bowl.
- In a small sauce pan, bring the cream to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir often to prevent burning.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spoon or whisk to stir the cream and chocolate together until completely smooth. Refrigerate until chilled.
To assemble:
- Place 1 slice of pound cake on a dessert plate and top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of pastry cream
- Top the pastry cream with another slice of pound cake and 1 to 2 tablespoons of pastry cream
- Finish it off with the third slice of pound cake and 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate ganache
- Enjoy!
Notes
If the ganache gets too thick to spread, heat it in the microwave for about 15 seconds or until it is the consistency you like. I like it a little on the thick side for this recipe so I can spread it like frosting.
