Hi Cyn, I haven't made the CI one yet, but just checked it in my files. It sounds like it would be
excellent, except I would cut down on the sugar, (I'd use about 7-8 Tbsp instead of 3/4 cup), since I like things more bittersweet.
If you make the Chocolate Ganache one, just make sure you follow my notes on straining out the custard, since Dorie irresponsibly left out that most crucial step (yes, it irritates me), and do add a little vanilla extract - it really makes a difference.
Let me know how either one comes out!
