but you could also make your ganache using heavy cream the brands that you would find commonly in the Indian market are chopped alight and rich so one of the most frequently asked questions is about the ratio of the chocolate and cream going into the ganache now it's very important to understand that each ratio would result in a different consistency and the ratio of the ingredients going in would depend on the purpose that you want to use the ganache for so come let's understand the consolation of ganache concept purposely use of that so the first and the most popular ratio is one is to

making it which is over a double boiler so to make the ganache over double boiler I'll start by placing my saucepan with water on medium heat and I'll heat it until the water comes to a slight simmer so when you see small bubbles around the edges of the water is when you take your heat proof Bowl with the chocolate in it and you place it over the bottom make sure your chocolate is chopped evenly and that the water doesn't touch the surface of your bowl this would ensure that your chocolate melts slowly and evenly once my two parts of chocolate are melted completely I'll add one part of cream and I'll mix this well so once my chocolate and cream are combined completely and my ganache is smooth and silky I set it off the heat and now I let it cool completely ganache banana kedusha the retires to heat cream in a saucepan and then pouring it over chopped chocolate now the only problem here is that a lot of time your clean gets borned and you don't realize it so you need to be very careful about that the third way is to make the ganache in a microwave by melting the chocolate in a microwave safe Bowl it's may you need to take out your chocolate every 10 seconds give it a good mix but its way may the chances of burning chocolate are high so which is why I prefer doing it over a double boiler because your chocolate is melting from indirect heat and it's melting slowly and evenly since we are talking about ganache I also want you to share the process of making whipped chocolate ganache so technically this procedure remains the same but in order for your ganache to whip up you need to make sure that the cream that you're using is a heavy and has a minimum fat content of at least 30% to make whipped chocolate ganache you need to let you ganache cool completely and then use an electric mixer to beat it until it becomes light and airy and the color starts to lighten you can then transfer it into a piping bag and use it to decorate your cake and subject another question that I get asked very frequently is how to fix chocolate ganache if your ganache alley this fast the right way to fix it is to use a hand blender to blend it so that it emulsifies if your chocolate ganache has chocolate chunks the best way to fix it is to heat it in the microwave and mix it well after every 10 seconds so that the chocolate chunks melt and your chocolate ganache is nice
