RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Ingredients Info:

Chocolate – I recommend using a good quality cooking chocolate as it melts easier than regular chocolate (I like Lindt, Nestle and Cadbury brands)
Cream – use a thickened cream, heavy cream or whipping cream

Recipe Tips:

Please refer to my tips in the post above for making thick, thin, whipped and truffle ganache variations.

Use couverture chocolate – if this isn’t possible, use a good quality chocolate instead (like Lindt, Nestle or Cadbury)
You can use dark, milk or white chocolate
Chop, break or grate your chocolate into very small pieces so that it will melt evenly
There’s no need to boil the cream, simply bring it to a low simmer
Use a thickened cream, heavy cream or whipping cream
The better quality the cream and the chocolate you use, the better your ganache will be

Storing ganache:

At room temperature (cool temperatures only) for up to 2 days
In the fridge for up to 1 month (allow to come to room temperature before using)
Frozen for up to 1 month (allow to defrost in the fridge before using)
