White Chocolate Ganache Recipe

White chocolate ganache has a great vanilla flavor, is great for using for drip cakes, glazing a cake or for using in place of buttercream in super hot areas. Did you know that white chocolate ganache doesn't sweat? So awesome!

Recipe:
1lb 8oz Guittard Vanilla A'Peels (or other brand of melty)
8 oz Heavy Whipping Cream

Microwave chocolate in microwave safe bowl for 1 minute to soften
Bring heavy whipping cream just to a simmer then pour over chocolate
Make sure the chocolate is fully covered.
Let set for 5 minutes
Whisk gently to combine cream and chocolate, do not incorporate air
Let sit until ganache reaches 90 degrees F
Ganache is now ready to glaze over a chilled cake or let set overnight and then stir until creamy for a thicker, icing consistency ganache suitable for frosting and filling cakes.

Liz - can I use whipped white chocolate ganache underneath my fondant? I watch most of your tutorials and learning loads. Thank you

Hi, Liz, I love, love all your videos and recipes. I have a big favor to ask... by any chance, do you have a table that shows how many ounces of chocolate to use when making ganache for different size cakes. I live in Florida and it is hot and humid year-round, so I always use ganache underneath my fondant because buttercream softens. Somehow, I always end up with too much ganache or not enough. Most of my cakes are either 6, 8 or 10 inches. Can you help? Thanks :)

Why is that white chocolate so white? Normally it’s yellow... where do you get yours?

Hi sugar geek aka Liz! I tried to look for my answer in the comments already but I couldn’t find exactly what i was looking for- I need to frost and fill(crumb coat included) an 8x8 cake. Will one recipe of this be enough or should i use 2? I feel like I should use 2 but I’ve never made your recipe and it doesn’t say how much it yields. Thank you! Michelle☺️🥳

[darleneandmoisesdiaz]

Can I color the white chocolate with regular food gel by Chefmaster or Americolor?

So more white chocolate than heavy whipping cream?

[jamieromar]

Are you using my real white chocolate? Or does it matter if it’s just melts?

[lucyvalenzuela]

Can we use the white chocolate that's in the baking section, like Ghirardelli bars?

[marwaqasem]

[craftyconfections]

[xolio]

Those are candy melts! Can you use real white chocolate?

[MsHalabaloo]

Can you talk about whether or not this can be whipped? I try whipping which chocolate ganache and it always separates on me. I don’t know if it needs to refrigerated, have a different ratio or what exactly.

Have you ever used almond bark to make ganache? I'm wondering if this would work in place of regular chocolate or white chocolate.
