Description
Namelaka Chocolate Ganache is a rich and creamy chocolate dessert that is perfect for various applications, from filling cakes to serving as a luxurious topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams Dark Chocolate, high-quality
- 400 ml Heavy Cream
- 100 ml Milk
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a mixing bowl.
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk, and bring it to a gentle simmer over low heat.
- Once the cream mixture is hot, pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to soften the chocolate, and then stir until smooth and glossy.
- If you prefer a firmer ganache, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water to bloom for a few minutes. Then, heat gently until dissolved and mix into the ganache.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Once chilled, whisk the ganache until smooth and fluffy before using or enjoying as is!
Notes
- Opt for chocolate with a high cocoa percentage for the best flavor.
- Ensure the cream mixture does not boil to maintain the ganache’s texture.
- Whisking the ganache after chilling adds a light and airy texture.
