proof that chocolate plus warm cream can fix nearly anything but your life
means A smooth, rich blend of chocolate and warm cream used as a filling, glaze, or frosting, with the ratio deciding whether it's pourable or fudgy.
from From French 'ganache,' which literally means 'jowl' or, slangily, 'fool' or 'idiot.' The popular kitchen story claims an apprentice in a 19th-century Parisian shop accidentally spilled hot cream into chocolate, was called a 'ganache' for the blunder — and the delicious mistake kept the insulting name. It's a charming tale and may well be true, but the documented certainty is just that the dessert borrowed the French word for fool around the mid-1800s.
