Can we embrace mistakes or the pursuit of perfection can’t abide them in our life? Let’s make chocolate Ganache that will help us enjoy life!
Ganache is made of chocolate and cream. Normally, it is made by heating equal parts of chocolate and cream, warming the cream first, then mixing in the chocolate. Butter can be added to give the Ganache a shiny appearance and smooth texture.
If we use the Ganache as a filling or to make truffles then two parts of chocolate and one part of cream can be used and that will produce stiffer results thanks to the chocolate’s ability to solidify.
For glazes, using dark chocolate the one-to-one ratio is the standard ratio while using white chocolate requires three parts of white chocolate and one part of cream.
If we let the Ganache cool a bit then we can increase its volume by whipping it and use it for icing too.
So, Ganache is a really versatile ingredient that can be used as a glaze, icing, filing or even as standalone dessert. But if we really strive to achieve the status reserved for only a few then we use Ganache as parents use their love to hold the family together and cover our masterpieces with a shine of perfection like a mirror glaze.
