Cream contains fat + water. Butter contains fat + water, and liquid flavorings are liquid. All these ingredients contribute the fat + liquid ratios contained in a chocolate ganache. - The chocolates used in the examples were couverture chocolates, those which contain a high percentage of cocoa butter. Specifically, the examples used cream ganaches formulated with Valrhona 66% cacao and Valrhona 61% cacao. These principals about broken chocolate ganaches apply to all ganaches. - Remember that milk and white chocolate are more sensitive to high temperatures and generally are handled at lower temperatures than dark chocolate. Fixing these ganaches with the same approaches applies. ❤️ Subscribe to the Dallas Chocolate Classes YouTube Channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFo0ONncxrBYDALiydvwc7Q Please don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE & CLICK the BELL icon 🔔 to make sure you don’t miss a single video.
