Faq
- Why is my ganache not setting properly?
This could be due to insufficient time for stabilization or fluctuations in temperature during preparation. Make sure the ganache is cooled in a stable environment for the recommended time.
- Can I substitute another fruit puree for the apple puree?
Yes, you can experiment with different fruit purees. Just be aware that the sweetness and acidity levels might vary, affecting the overall taste.
- What should I do if my pectin doesn't set?
Double-check the temperature and ensure it reached a quick boil. You can try reheating slightly and adding a tad more pectin if needed but be cautious not to overpower the taste!
- How can I prevent cracks on my macarons?
Proper macaronage (mixing) is key. Ensure you knock out any air bubbles by dropping the tray on the counter before baking and dry the shells before baking to help form a skin.
- Is there a way to speed up the stabilization of the ganache?
Using a quick-setting thickener or an ice bath to cool it slightly faster could help, but this should be done cautiously to avoid altering the texture.
- How can I enhance the flavor of the ganache?
Consider optional add-ins like a pinch of sea salt or a teeny splash of vanilla extract to elevate the flavor profile further!
