Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cream Mixture

In a saucepan, heat 70 grams of heavy cream along with 10 grams of glucose syrup until it reaches 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit). Make sure to monitor the temperature closely to avoid boiling.

Once heated, remove from heat and pour the cream mixture over the chopped 70 grams of white chocolate and 30 grams of milk chocolate.

Step 2

Incorporate Hazelnut Paste

Add 30 grams of sugar-free hazelnut paste to the chocolate and cream mixture. Use an immersion blender to blend all the ingredients until they are well combined and smooth.

While blending, slowly pour in 70 grams of cold heavy cream in a thin stream to emulsify the mixture.

Step 3

Chill the Ganache

After combining everything, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the ganache to prevent a skin from forming. Place it in the refrigerator for 12 hours to let it stabilize and develop flavors.

Step 4

Whip the Ganache

After the chilling time has elapsed, take the ganache out of the refrigerator. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture until it lightens in color and increases in volume.

Your hazelnut ganache is now ready to be used as a filling or a decorative element for your favorite desserts!

Servings

Imagine a sunny picnic with friends, sharing delicious desserts that dazzle the eyes and taste divine! This Nutty Ganache is a perfect match for lighter desserts like fruit tarts, where its creamy texture complements fresh flavors beautifully. 🎉

Want to take it to the next level? Use it as a filling for layered cakes, where each bite reveals luscious layers of flavor. Or, for a fancy touch, pipe it onto cupcakes for a beautiful finish! 🧁❤️

Don’t forget to drizzle some over ice cream for an indulgent treat that melts in your mouth, making every scoop irresistible! 🍦✨

Faq

  • What is ganache, and how is it different from frosting?

    Ganache is a rich mixture of chocolate and cream, typically used for glazes or fillings. It's smoother and creamier than traditional frosting, which usually has butter and sugar added.

  • Can I make this ganache ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can make it a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature before using or rewhipping it!

  • How can I prevent the ganache from being too runny?

    If your ganache is too runny, try adding more chocolate to thicken it. A higher chocolate-to-cream ratio will create a sturdier ganache.

  • Can I flavor my ganache?

    Yes! You can add extracts like vanilla or coffee, or even a splash of liqueur to give your ganache an extra flavor kick. Just be sure to balance the liquid accordingly!

  • Is there a way to reheat ganache without ruining it?

    Yes! Gently reheat it in short intervals in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring frequently until it's just warm enough to use.

  • What is the best way to store leftover ganache?

    Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze it for longer storage; just be sure to let it defrost in the fridge before using!
