WHITE- OR DARK-CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Make an ice-water bath; set aside. Using a sharp, heavy serrated knife or a chocolate chopper, finely chop the chocolate. It's important to chop it finely so that it melts quickly. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Bring heavy cream just to a boil, and pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Place the bowl over ice-water bath, and use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture vigorously until it reaches the desired thickness or consistency, about 5 minutes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE RECIPE

Heat until just before boiling, bubbles will start to appear in the cream at the edge of the pot. Remove the cream from the heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Let stand for 2-3 minutes and then stir until completely smooth. Let the white chocolate ganache cool to room temperature. Cover then refrigerate until completely cooled. Use as desired or store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

BLUEBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE ON A PROFITEROLE

Steps:

• Ganache: Cook the blueberries and sugar over medium heat until juice is syrup like consistency. Strain the blueberries through a fine mesh strainer (chinois). You don't want to have the skins of the berries in the ganache, just the juices. Reserve this liquid.
• Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add the white chocolate and stir frequently or whisk until smooth. This can also be done over a double broiler to risk the chance of scalding the cream and chocolate. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the blueberry liquid. A pourable ganache should be held around 90 degrees F. The ganache can be held in refrigeration for 4 days or frozen for 3 months.
• Ice Cream: Puree blueberries in a food processor until the berries are somewhat chunky, similar to a salsa consistency. Whisk the sugar and eggs in a medium mixing bowl until they are thickened and pale yellow. Bring the creams to a simmer in a saucepan (170-degrees F). Slowly whisk the cream mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Pour entire mixture back into saucepan and bring and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens. If the heat gets too high or boils, the eggs will scramble. Pour the custard through a strainer into a clean bowl. Place in a freezer until cool, then stir in blueberries and vanilla extract. Transfer to an ice cream machine and follow manufacturer's directions or return to freezer and stir occasionally until custard sets.
• Profiteroles: Bring water, milk, and butter to a boil, then add flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a large spoon until mixture groups together. Reduce heat while continuing to stir for one more minute to cook out any excess moisture. Beat the eggs in one at a time with a mixer at low speed or with a spoon. Make sure the paste is smooth before the next egg is added. When all eggs are incorporated, the dough should be smooth and shiny.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place paste in a large pastry bag and pipe on to a large ungreased cookie sheet in 12 round mounds around 2 to 2 1/ 2-inch in diameter and 1-inch high. Place in 400-degrees for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 350-degrees for roughly 25 to 30 minutes. Profiteroles should be golden brown. Remove from oven and place profiteroles on a rack to cool.
• Cut profiteroles in half. Scoop blueberry ice cream into bottom half of profiteroles and place top half on ice cream. Drizzle with ganache. Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a few fresh blueberries.

WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl add 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips, then pour 2/3 cups of heavy cream on top. Wiggle the bowl so that all chocolate chips are covered with heavy cream and let sit for 1 minute.
• Whisk the mixture until smooth. Then, add 3 tbsp of melted butter and whisk again until combined.
• Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours or until completely chilled.
• Remove from the refrigerator and whip until fluffy - about 1 minute or less. Do not over-whip, or the cream will separate.

Steps:

• Add chopped white chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave at 50% power for 3 minutes. Heat the whipping cream separately, in another microwave safe bowl (at regular power), for 2-3 minutes or until warm.
• Remove, combine the warm whipping cream with the melted chocolate and stir well. Then continue to cook in 20 second intervals (at regular power) until the chocolate is incorporated into the whipping cream, stirring each time. There shouldn't be ANY lumps in your white chocolate. * This could take another 2-3 minutes.
• Cool on counter, then pour into large mixing stand bowl (if you have one)- any large bowl will do. Then cover (I use glad press n' seal) and let stand in refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Once the white chocolate ganache is chilled (it will be soft and not solid like regular chocolate ganache), use the whisk attachment on your stand mixer and whip on low speed and gradually working up to high speed until the ganache is light and fluff and reaches stiff peaks.
• Serve with any recipe calling for whipped cream. Spread on cupcakes or a standard size cake. The white chocolate ganache whipped cream frosting will stay stable in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with enough water so it is about 2 inches deep. Bring the water to a very gentle simmer. You don't want the water to boil. You want to melt the chocolate with very gentle, indirect heat.
• Place a metal or glass bowl over the warm water. Make sure the bowl does not touch the water.
• Place the chocolate and cream in the bowl and stir frequently. When the chocolate is almost completely melted, remove it from the heat and let the rest of the chocolate melt while it sits off the heat. If there is any un-melted chocolate then let it continue to sit until all the chocolate melts. As long as the mixture is warm, the chocolate will continue to melt.

WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE

Steps:

• For the ganache glaze, chop white chocolate into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Set aside. Bring heavy cream to a simmer, remove from heat and pour over white chocolate pieces. Cover with a plate and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then carefully stir until a smooth ganache forms.*
• Let ganache cool until it is no longer warm to the touch (84°F/28°C) but still is pourable and hasn't hardened.
• For covering a cake in ganache glaze, place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Put the buttercream frosted, chilled cake on the rack. This way excess ganache will drip onto the baking sheet and can be reused. Pour the white chocolate ganache glaze onto the chilled cake and let it also run down to cover the sides. Use an angled spatula to smooth out the top
• Let the cake sit for just a minute and scrape excess drip from the bottom edge, then move the cake (and rack) to the fridge to let it firm up. Store the cake in the fridge until 1/2 to 1 hour before serving. The ganache will be easier to cut with a hot knife.
