- 112g Cocoa Butter
- 21g sugar (caster)
- 404ml Single Cream
- 404ml Single Cream
- 30g Fish Gelatin (or 6g Pork Gelatin)
- Melt the cocoa butter over a bain-marie (do not surpass 45ºC).
- Once melted blend in the cocoa powder with a hand-blender until smooth. Check the temperature, bring it down to 30-31ºC by stirring (do not incorporate air). Set aside until ready to use.
- In a saucepan, add 1st quantity of cream. Bring to a simmer. Pour over chocolate in 2-3 stages to prevent from splitting the mixture.
- Once the 1st cream has been incorporated, add gelatin while mixture is still quite warm. Blend until thoroughly combined.
- Add 2nd cream to mixture and blend until well combined. Transfer to an air-tight container covering the top of the ganache with plastic film wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Set in refrigerator for 24hrs for best results.
- When ready to use the ganache, add desired quantity to a cold mixing bowl. Whisk until medium/ hard peaks.
