Apricot Ganache
This ganach contains sieved apricots and is flavored with a little kirsch.
Yield: 1 batch ganache.
Ingredients
-
1 pint cream
-
13 ounces canned apricots halves, sieved
-
3 1/2 ounces glucose
-
1 pound extra bitter dark chocolate
-
7 ounces milk chocolate
-
3 1/2 ounces butter
-
2 ounces kirsch
Procedure
-
Chop the chocolate if it's not already in pistols or chips.
-
Heat the cream, sieved apricots, and glucose to just boiling, and pour over the chocolate. Shake the bowl a little to ensure the chocolate is completely covered with the cream. Let set a few minutes to soften the chocolate.
-
Whisk the chocolate and cream together until it is a smooth, shiny mass.
-
Stir in the butter and kirsch. Let the ganache come to room temperature, and then chill. Use for truffle filling.
