@thepastrynerd's TikTok video "The science behind chocolate ganache (recipe below) Chocolate ganache is very easy to do with only a few ingredients. But if you want to get a ganache with a perfectly smooth texture you need to understand a bit of its science: -Use whipping cream (heavy cream) with at least 30% fat. -corn syrup/glucose will help with emulsion and reduce crystallisation of sugar in chocolate making your ganache smooth and shiny. -Make the emulsion by stirring in the middle of the bowl and finish it with an immersion blender . -Let the ganache rest at room temperature for at least 20 min (1-2 hours is better) before putting it in the fridge. -Use high quality dark chocolate, preferentially couverture chocolate. Couverture chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa butter, it will make a big difference in the texture and taste of your ganache. -Keep in mind that if you use milk chocolate or white chocolate, the ratio whipping cream:chocolate in the recipe will be different as they do not contain the same amount of cocoa butter and cocoa solids. Ingredients Whipping cream (30% fat min): 300 g Corn syrup/glucose : 30 g Dark chocolate 70%: 250 g Bring to a boil whipping cream with corn syrup. Pour onto dark chocolate. Leave undisturbed for 30 seconds before stirring. Whisk then mix with an immersion blender. Pour onto a dish or tart shell. Let it cool down at room temperature for 1-2h before putting in the fridge. #pastry #patisserie #baking #cake" has 1,650,441 views, 133,695 likes, 681 comments, 8,371 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
