Chocolate Ganache Ingredients and Recipe


Ingredients : 

180g fleurette cream 35% fat - 15g Acacia honey - 80g Noir Equilibré dark chocolate bar 66% - 30g Noir Robuste dark chocolate bar 74% - 25g Lait Musclé milk chocolate bar 37%

Steps by steps

  • Bring the cream with honey to a boil.
  • Pour over the previously chopped chocolate. Let it all melt for 2 minutes.
  • Emulsify with a whisk by making small concentric circles until you obtain a smooth and shiny mixture.
  • Pour the ganache at 31°C.

Tip from our Chef: if you do not have a food thermometer, put a little ganache on your lips. At 31°C, you should have a sensation of cold.
