Notes

  • Dipping Tip: If you're using the ganache for dipping, you can keep it warm in a fondue pot or mini food warmer.
  • Fridge Storage: You can store leftover ganache in the fridge for up to two to three weeks.
  • Freezer Storage: You can also freeze it for one month. Make sure you thaw it in the fridge.
  • Ganache Ratio:
    • White chocolate ganache 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.
    • For a firmer ganache, use a ratio of 2:1 (2 parts chocolate and 1 part cream).
  • For a Whiter Ganache: You can add a little food grade titanium dioxide to lighten it up. Be sure to utilize an appropriate ratio, so as not to change the consistency. Also, make sure you do not to go over the limit of 1% as per FDA guidelines. Also, use clear vanilla extract.
