Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz white chocolate, finely chopped Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Ensure it’s fresh and at room temperature.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for better flavor.
  • a pinch salt Balances sweetness and elevates flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the finely chopped white chocolate into a clean, heatproof bowl.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer, but do not let it boil.
  3. Carefully pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Stir slowly from the center outward until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until thoroughly mixed.
  6. Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature until it reaches the desired consistency, approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

Notes

For piping, let the ganache cool until pourable but not too runny. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
