Low Carb Chocolate Ganache (For Truffles or Sauce)

"From Laura Dolson, Your Guide to Low Carb Diets. Traditionally, ganache is made with half chocolate and half cream. However, the consistency depends a lot upon the chocolate and the sweetener, especially when using unsweetened chocolate. This sugar free low carb chocolate ganache can be used to make truffles or a chocolate sauce, depending upon how much cream is in them. You can easily alter the amount."

<p>Click to feed animals I'm a retired teacher now living in&nbsp;the Jamaica Plain area of Boston. I have one daughter, 2 granddaughters, and 1 great-grandson(17 yo Dec '11)! I've travelled a bit throughout Europe and the U.S. as well as Honduras and Costa Rica. I think I may have some gypsy ancestors! I love to travel but am not able to anymore.

I've done leaded glass work(stained glass), which I love; am working on counted cross stitch; and am willing to try any craft, at least once! I've also worked for a major insurance company as a case analyst.
