Instructions

Step 1

Heating the Cream

In a saucepan, combine 70 grams of heavy cream and 10 grams of glucose syrup.

Heat the mixture gently until it reaches 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit).

Step 2

Combining Ingredients

Once the cream is heated, pour it over 100 grams of chopped white chocolate.

Add 30 grams of unsweetened peanut butter to the mixture and blend it using an immersion blender until fully combined.

Step 3

Incorporating Cold Cream

While continuing to blend, slowly pour in 70 grams of cold heavy cream.

Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and combined.

Step 4

Chilling the Ganache

Cover the ganache with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Place it in the refrigerator for 12 hours to stabilize and set properly.

Step 5

Whipping the Ganache

After the ganache has set, use a mixer to whip it until it lightens in color and increases in volume.

This process will give your ganache a fluffy texture perfect for filling or decorating desserts.

Step 6

Flavor Variations

You can substitute white chocolate with caramelized or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.

Feel free to replace peanut butter with other nut butters to experiment with new tastes!
