Summary: Desserts and sweets have always added a little something extra to our diets (and our waistlines.) And though sugar has its rightful place in the nutritional pyramid, cube, or sphere, dessert transcends the idea of simply “eating to live.” Sweet foods and drinks represent what is best in life; and we have learned to associate them with joy and happiness. Yet we all know that these items can destroy our health if consumed in excess. Nonetheless, dessert will continue to hold sway as long as it comes in the form of Grandmas' chocolate chip cookies, Mom’s brownies, and Dad’s ice cream habit.

In these free dessert cooking classes on video, learn how to make an easy chocolate ganache frosting recipe. Ganache is a French word that means “fool”—and if you make this dessert, you’ll understand why. The mixture of heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate will leave you stupefied with pleasure, whether served as cake icing, on top of brownies, or as a pastry filling.
