    When making ganache with lesser expensive dark chocolate I add some soft butter rather than cream to maintain a creamy spreadable consistency at room temperature. Great, info packed video.
  • The section on 'what nobody talks about' was mindblowing!! Baking and related tasks are really a science and an art 👌👍👍

    Super informative and thorough. I’m filling truffle shells next week and this was everything I needed to know. Thank you very much!!
  • @tiaa401
    Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us !! I only made ganache twice and it went ok and was delicious but there was definitely room for improvement. I'm so glad you picked up this topic and explaining it so well. I think the reason why other bakers don't admit to failure is because they just want to show the good side of baking. But life is all about trial and error !! 😘
  • Thank you so very much for sharing. I have been trying to successfully make a ganache drip for the longest. I am loving this one.

    You absolutely solved my problem! Thank you! I was ready to store the textured and oily mess I made to add it to hot cocoa or something and was going to start over… then I came across this video. I was using expensive high quality (72%) chocolate and had not added enough cream. I added room temp cream so my ratio would be 1:1 instead of 2:1 and it came out smooth and creamy!!

    This is the perfect video to making ganache and fixing any problems if you experience any. A very enjoyable video in delivery, conciseness and clarity. It is a one stop shop on every type of chocolate from milk to white to dark and the varied cacao or cocoa within these chocolates and what ratio of cream one should use depending on the type of chocolate used. The best part is that any problems encountered is fixable, you don’t have to throw your ingredients away and start again. This should be everyone’s go to video on making ganache if not an expert. Thank you for sharing such unparalleled knowledge.

    Woah this video is like a little gold nugget. Seriously incredibly helpful and informative video! I greatly appreciated the photos of what the ganache looks like if you do this and if it turns like that etc. I'm saving this video for ever and will send it to anyone who needs help with their ganache. Thank you so much! 😊

    You've made a wonderful video about ganache! I've learned from professionals, and lots of books. You've done a great job of demystifying ganache, so everyone can get great results. You're absolutely right. Not nearly enough tutorials actually explain the results you get with different types of chocolate. Keep on making your excellent, fun, and infornative videos.
