Hi sweet readers ♥
I love to make this silky ganache! This silky and delicious ganache is perfect for decorating cupcakes with beautifully piped roses. The secret to
mastering the perfect silky consistency for this ganache is to first of all, use high quality chocolate, and secondly, be patient and allow the ganache to sit at room temperature overnight.
SILKY GANACHE
- 500 ML HEAVY CREAM
- 80 GRAMS RUNNY HONEY
- 2 TBSP INSTANT ESPRESSO POWDER
- 400 GRAMS DARK CHOCOLATE 66-70 %, CHOPPED
- 150 GRAM UNSALTED BUTTER, DICED
PREPARATION;
- Place the coarsely chopped chocolate and diced butter in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine cream and espresso powder.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Pour the cream over the chocolate and butter.
- Immediately stir with a whisk until smooth and shiny.
- The chocolate will often settle, so scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula to make sure there are no lumps.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow the ganache to sit at room temperature at least 6-8 hours but preferably overnight until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
- This gives you a beautiful and shiny ganache that is perfect for piping gorgeous ganache roses
- The ganache can also be used as filling for layered cakes or for sandwiching cookies.

Hi Manuela.
I wonder; when do you add the honey? It does not say in the description?
Add honey when you warm the heavy cream
Hi, Manuela,
Thank you for sharing your wonderfully silky ganache recipe 🙂
Do you think that it would be possible to substitute the runny honey you use in your recipe for golden syrup, please?
Many thanks in advance!
Best wishes 🙂
Hi Sam thank you for your lovely msg, yes golden syrup instead of runny honey is perfect to use as this is only added for the shine! best of luck/ manuela

Hello Manuela,
I’m trying to do this ganache and I wanted to know for how long do I wisk the blender, once I added the cream to the chocolate and butter? Until it’s all blended would suffice?
Thanks a lot ^^
Just until the ganache is smooth and no chocolate lumps are in there.

Maybe 6 cups or more, never weighed it before with cups
Hi Manuela… Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for this recipe?
Hi Manuela! What are the US standard measurements?
Can i put it in the fridge to set faster?
I would not as it become very firm below and less firm on top!
