Chocolate ganache - how it works
A chocolate ganache is suitable, for example, to refine a cake or cupcakes. With the right ingredients, the ganache is very easy and the production is not complex.
Make chocolate ganache
Depending on what you want to cover with the chocolate ganache, you need a different amount of ingredients. To cover a cake you need: 450 grams of whole milk chocolate, 325 grams of cream and 20 grams of butter.
- Put the cream in a saucepan and warm it up. However, be careful not to let it boil.
- Now slowly stir the chocolate into pieces under the cream until it has completely melted. You can now switch off the stove.
- Finally, add the butter and stir in as well.
- Allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Then whip them up briefly with a mixer and spread the finished ganache on the cake. The cake should then also be kept in the cool if it is not consumed immediately.
- Tip: If you don't like it so sweet, you can also use dark chocolate instead of whole milk chocolate.
