White Chocolate Ganache Drip Cake Recipe & Tutorial | Cake Basics

White Chocolate Ganache:

Ingredients
1 Cup (190g) white chocolate chips or bar, chopped into bits
1/3 Cup (80ml) heavy whipping cream
Up to 1/2 tsp food color gel or whitening gel (optional)

Instructions
1. Chop the white chocolate chips or bar as finely as you can and place it into a heat resistant bowl (glass or metal).

2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the heavy whipping cream until it just starts to simmer, whisking constantly. I always look for small bubbles forming around the edge and a soft boil starting in the middle. When it reaches this stage, pour the cream over the white chocolate.

3. Whisk together until the ganache is uniform in consistency and there are no bits of chocolate left on your whisk. It can help to hold the bowl over the residual heat from the burner (once it's turned off) if you're having a hard time whisking everything together.

4. Whiten or color the ganache (optional), then cool ganache at room temperature for anywhere from 5-20 minutes (depending on your kitchen environment), or until the ganache itself is slightly above room temperature.

Recipe Notes:
Make Ahead Tips: this ganache can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. When you’re ready to use it, microwave it in 10 second increments, stirring after every interval until your ganache is room temperature and uniform in consistency.

Thank you so much for the very informative tutorial on making this ganache. Just did this today to add a bit of twist to my fruit cake. Using your ratio is 3:1, I combined 247g of Côte-d'Or white chocolate in bars and 80ml of heavy whipping cream in a glass, microwave for every 20 seconds until the heavy cream is just simmering. Then just added a few drops of vanilla and a pinch of salt to the melted ganache. The consistency was spot on! As you mentioned, it depends on the chocolate you use. note: I added an extra 7g of chocolate to make the ganache thicker. Thank you again Sugar and Sparrow. Blessings to you.

Hi thanks for your informative tutorial. Can i use whipped cream powder instead of cream

[stevenmassey]

Awesome! I see you use a gel coloring for the drip. I was under the impression that an oil-based color with chocolate so it wouldn’t seize. Any advice?

[rachelboothe]

Thank you so much for this video! It is so helpful. Would you mind sharing which white chocolate you use? Every time I look for white chocolate I seem to only be able to find vanilla flavored chocolate. Thanks.
