Recipe notes:

Cream: Do not use half-and-half, whole milk, or any other liquid; the ganache will not set properly. For a non-dairy alternative, use canned coconut milk. See recipe note.
Chocolate: You can use semi-sweet chocolate (recommended), bittersweet chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate.

Best Chocolate to Use in Chocolate Ganache

The best chocolate for chocolate ganache is a pure chocolate baking bar. Pure chocolate is sold in 4-ounce bars in the baking aisle. Do not use chocolate chips because they will not melt into the best ganache consistency. If you must use chocolate chips, make sure they are higher-quality chocolate, such as Ghirardelli brand semi-sweet chocolate chips.

For the traditional chocolate ganache

I recommend using semi-sweet chocolate, which is the most commonly found chocolate in the baking aisle. It contains 35 – 45% cacao and is usually sweeter than bittersweet or dark varieties and darker than milk chocolate and white chocolate.

TIP: The best tool for chopping chocolate is a large serrated knife. The grooves help chip away the hard chocolate bar texture.

These 2 Tricks Make Chocolate Ganache Even Easier:

Here are my 2 super simple tricks that make ganache even easier to make.
Chop the chocolate as fine as possible. The finer you chop the chocolate, the quicker it melts with the cream. If the chocolate is in large chunks, it won’t fully melt.
Pour the warm cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit before stirring. After you pour the warm heavy cream over the chopped chocolate, let it sit for a few minutes. During this time, the chocolate will soften and begin to melt, which means that you won’t need to over-stir it.

Piped Chocolate Ganache:

Choose chocolate ganache if you’re craving a pure chocolate topping for your desserts. Once it cools and sets, you can pipe it onto your favorites, including chocolate cupcakes.

Whipped Ganache

Let’s take chocolate ganache 1 step further. Did you know that you can beat ganache into a whipped frosting consistency? Think whipped buttercream, but not as sweet or heavy. Once the chocolate ganache cools completely, whip it on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy in texture, about 4 minutes.

Chop the chocolate bar with the help of a sharp serrated knife.

Place finely chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl or metal bowl.

Heat cream on the stovetop just simmering; if it’s boiling, the cream is too hot and could separate or even burn the chocolate.

Once you see a little simmer around the edges, turn off the heat and immediately pour the warm cream over the chocolate.

Let the two sit for a few minutes before stirring.

Stir until smooth

After you stir the chocolate and warm cream together

Use the ganache right away as a fruit dip or drizzle on top of cakes, cupcakes, pound cakes, ice cream, and more.

But if you wait about 2 hours and let it cool completely, the ganache can be scooped with a spoon, spread onto desserts, or piped with piping tips.

Chocolate ganache is ready to use in a recipe, transfer into the bottle or container.

Chocolate ganache can be stored in the fridge.

Fried Pizza Balls || Veg Pizza Balls || How to make pizza balls with step-by-step video recipe with English subtitles

Fried pizza balls are literally lip-smacking, crispy evening snacks- a delicious savory fried snack. Baked or Fried Pizza Balls are so easy and fun to make, and of course, yummy.

Making pizza balls is so easy. I basically used pizza dough and some desirable veggies, spices, instant pizza sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Beat that! Once I made the pizza dough and prepared veg stuffing, I just rolled it out just like you would if you were making pizza. Mine was about 1/4 inch in thickness, and I used a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out the rounds.

You could use 1-inch cubes of mozzarella cheese, or if you’re like me, just use grated cheese, and place the fillings and cheese in the center of each round, press the edge to seal, and shape into a ball.

And repeat until you’re done. I then fried my balls and served them

And because I knew you guys were going to ask me if these balls could be baked, I baked some for you as well. Here you have the baked, healthier version!

Right there,e you can stuff the fillings of your choice. I prepared veg pizza balls. This will be great pizza for vegetarians or those who don't have an oven. Also, these pizza balls are the best for kids’ tiffin boxes. Here,e I will show you two types of methods for making a pizza ball.s

You can check out the recipes of my different styles of pizza BEEF TIKKA PIZZA, GARLIC FRENCH PIZZA, PIZZA SANDWICH, and CALZONE on my blog. This is my own creation and a version of pizza. I made two types of pizza balls. Fried or baked, whatever you like, you can use. On the other hand, I strongly recommend making fried pizza balls, but if you have any health issues, you can bake rather than fry.

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step instructions and tips below the recipe card.

Recipe notes:

Pizza dough: Good kneading pizza dough is the base of every delicious pizza, and the taste depends on the pizza base rather than the topping. If the dough isn’t kneaded well and isn’t allowed to rest long enough, your pizza crust becomes hard and remains uncooked, while the cheese will turn brown.

Veg Stuffing: I prepared veg stuffing in which I used yellow and red bell peppers, jalapenos, tomato, and mushrooms, while you can use your choice of veg. The rest of the spices and herbs will remain the same, while you can use any non-vegetarian fillings of your choice.

Pizza seasoning: This is an essential ingredient for making delicious and aromatic pizza. You can follow my recipe by clicking here, or it can be used as store-bought pizza seasoning.

Pizza sauce: Here I used instant pizza sauce instead of regular pizza sauce, as I have finished my HOMEMADE PIZZA sauce. I would use pizza sauce rather than store-bought. You can use homemade or store-bought it-ups to suit you.

Crumbs: Usually, people use bread crumbs for the frying stuff. Here, I brought some changes in crumbs is that: I made crumbs from cornflakes and nuts instead of bread. These crumbs have quite a delicious and unique taste compared to regular BREADCRUMBS. Once you try must

Homemade Stock Recipe | Homemade Chicken Stock | How to Make Homemade Chicken Broth with step-by-step photos

Homemade Stock is known as a flavored and aromatic Yakhni that is used as the base of many recipes, such as Chinese dishes, soup, pulao, etc. It has a delicious flavor and is wonderfully nutritious. Once you learn how to make homemade stock, you will be hooked for life, just like stock.

Here I am giving both veggie and non-veggie stock. Just keep in mind, this is actually very simple and easy to do while you prepare other food or go on with your day. A better choice than store-bought stock is pure and hygienic, so you can store more than a month for later.

To prepare chicken stock, use chicken with bones, including some additional whole spices. Likewise, to make veggie stock, you just have to skip the chicken and chicken powder as well as add 1 more additional spice, so let's go below what I have explained

Note: After cooking the stock, just mix 2 pinches of lemon color to bring a bright and beautiful color to the stock, so let's begin
