Ingredients
White Chocolate Ganache
- 840 g white cooking chocolate see notes
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 60 g glucose syrup corn syrup
- 250 g heavy cream whipping cream
Instructions
Chocolate Ganache
- Microwave method - Add the white chocolate, cream, butter and glucose syrup (corn syrup) into a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time, mixing each time until completely melted and smooth.
- Double boiler method - Fill a medium sized pot 1/3 of the way with water. Bring to a boil. Place a heat-proof bowl on top and turn the heat to low. Add all the ingredients into the bowl. Gently mix until mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- To set - Directly cover the ganache with plastic wrap so that it doesn’t form a skin and set aside to set at room temperature. It will be firm to touch but slightly soft when fully set.
- Softening the ganache (to do right before frosting) - Once the ganache has set, soften it by placing back in the microwave for 10 seconds, and mix with a spatula until it reaches a soft, spreading consistency. You can also do this by placing it on a double boiler and warming very slightly until you reach a spreadable consistency.
