Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Gelatin

In a small bowl, add 2 grams of gelatin and pour over 12 grams of cold water. Allow it to swell for a few minutes until it is fully hydrated.

Step 2

Heat the Cream

Take 90 grams of cream and combine it with 15 grams of glucose syrup and the seeds scraped from 1/4 of a vanilla pod. Warm this mixture over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 70 to 80 degrees Celsius (158 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit).

Once heated, cover the pot with a lid and let it steep for 1 hour. After the resting time, reheat the mixture to about 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit).

Step 3

Combine Ingredients

Next, dissolve the swollen gelatin into the warm cream mixture, stirring until completely melted. Add in 70 grams of melted white chocolate into this mixture and blend it with an immersion blender until smooth.

Step 4

Chill the Ganache

Allow the ganache to cool to a temperature of 40 to 45 degrees Celsius (104 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit). Then, fold in 110 grams of cream (33%) and blend it again until well combined.

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate it for 8 to 12 hours.

Step 5

Whip the Ganache

After chilling, remove the ganache from the refrigerator. Using a hand mixer, whip the ganache until it reaches a stiff consistency.

Step 6

Pipe the Ganache

Transfer the whipped ganache into a piping bag fitted with a closed star tip and pipe it onto tarts, cakes, or any other sweet treat of your choice!

Servings

Faq

  • What is the best type of chocolate to use for ganache?

    For the best flavor, high-quality white chocolate works perfectly. Aim for chocolate with at least 30% cocoa butter for the best results.

  • How can I ensure my ganache sets properly?

    Cooling it slowly is key! After mixing, let it sit at room temperature and then chill it in the fridge for 8-12 hours to achieve the right consistency.

  • Can I use this ganache for frosting a cake?

    Absolutely! Whipped ganache is perfect for frosting, as its light texture holds well. Just make sure to chill it until thick and fluffy before spreading on your cake.

  • How can I revive ganache that has set too hard?

    If it becomes too stiff, gently warm it in the microwave in short bursts of 5-10 seconds while stirring until you reach your desired consistency.

  • Can I flavor the ganache with something other than vanilla?

    Definitely! Experiment with different flavorings such as almond extract, coffee, or even citrus zest for a unique twist!

  • What’s the shelf life of whipped ganache?

    When stored in the fridge, whipped ganache can last about 3-5 days. Just give it a quick whirl in a mixer to bring back its fluffy texture before using.
