What is White Chocolate Ganache?

White chocolate ganache is a mixture of white chocolate and cream that can be used for dipping or as a sauce, glaze, icing or filling for pastries and cakes. It is usually made with a ratio of 1:1, meaning equal parts chocolate and cream.

For a pourable glaze, you will want to use a ratio of 1:2 (1 part chocolate and 2 parts cream) to make the ganache thinner.
