Dark Chocolate Orange Ganache is an infused orange dark chocolate ganache that makes a wonderful frosting for cakes and even as just a dip.
I was thinking very hard about what to make when I suddenly remembered discussing with Gayathri on the ganache she made. She was talking about the new ganache she made by infusing orange. I thought I will do that as I was sure my kids will love this.

I can imagine how good this must have been. Is there a chance of the cream splitting when you add the orange peels?
Srivalli says
No Jay, the cream was intact even after adding the peels..:)

The orange zest surely is a great addition there, Valli.

Reading the recipe first thing that came to mind was, will the cream curdle as orange is a citrus fruit and the second was, how about adding orange rind instead? I love orange rind in bakes, desserts and my mind automatically imagining the flavor of the ganache with rind.. 🙂
