Ganache coffee milkshake
About:
Ganache is a frosting used in Cakes, which is a blend of cream and chocolate. Thought why not surprise my hubby with a coffee drink using Ganache and this came out like a wonder. This milk shake have made with single cream and semi-skimmed milk using dark chocolate to reduce the calorie intake. The silky ganache and ground coffee add more flavour to the shake. Natural honey is used for an added health benefits.
This drink will be heavanly for both chocolate and coffee lovers 🙂

Ingredients:
- Semi-skimmed milk-1 1/2cups
- Instant ground coffee-1tbsp

Procedure:
Chocolate ganache:
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and singe cream.
- Microwave for 20-30seconds and stir vigorously.

- If the chips aren’t all the way melted at this point, let the ganache sit a few minutes and stir again or microwave again for 10 seconds if they are still not melted.

For shake:
