White Chocolate Ganache

White Chocolate Ganache is a creamy mixture made from white chocolate, heavy cream, and butter, making it perfect for a filling, topping, or frosting. It can add a touch of sweetness and luxury to many desserts from macarons to cakes to cupcakes! Plus, it is easy to add food coloring to complement your special occasion. If you prefer, I also have chocolate ganache you will love.

Ingredients & Substitutions

White Chocolate: Look for high-quality pure white chocolate to use in this ganache, not just labeled as a white chocolate product.

Heavy Cream: Heavy cream, also known as heavy whipping cream, is at least 30% fat (as opposed to half and half, which is only 10-18% fat).

Butter: Unsalted butter enhances the flavor, texture, and stability of the ganache.

Food Coloring: It’s easy and fun to add your favorite color to go with your theme. Or, keep it white for an elegant appearance.

How to Use White Chocolate Ganache

Ganache is versatile and can be used with many desserts. Here are a few ideas:

Use as a filling: This would be delicious as the filling for my French Macarons.

Decorate Cakes and Cupcakes: Whipped ganache can be used in layered cakes, to top a cake or cupcakes. Add some food coloring to the ganache to match your theme or celebration.

Toppings: We love it on ice cream or bread puddings.

Make Truffles: Once the ganache has chilled to firm up, scoop out little balls, rolling them until smooth. Then, drop the truffles into your favorite topping like coconut, cookie crumbs, chopped nuts, or colorful sprinkles!
