Making A Ganache

Ganache is a French term for a mixture of chocolate and cream which is commonly
used as a chocolate centre.
To make enough ganache to fill one mould you will need:

A mould already coated in chocolate (the shell)
70g of pasteurised whipping cream (double cream can also be used but makes a heavier ganache)
15g of liquid glucose (can be obtained from any good chemist)
115g of correctly tempered couverture
A clean bowl
A spatula
A blue piping bag
A pair of clean scissors
A set of scales

Instructions

Boil the cream and the glucose together and stir well to combine
If you are going to flavour your ganache, mix in your flavours in the following
quantities:
Essential Oils ¼ teaspoon
Fruits or nuts approx 1 dessert spoon.
Then add 115g of melted couverture.
Mix thoroughly and pipe into your chocolate mould. Ensure there are no peaks by
using the back of a teaspoon to smooth. Make sure there is enough space to ‘top
off’ with melted chocolate.

My fiancé and I recently completed the Masterclass at Chocolate Craft in Alresford. We had a fantastic experience. We originally undertook a class in July using an 'experience day' voucher, and enjoyed it so much that we decided to come back for more this November. Pippa showed us how Chocolate Craft makes chocolate from tempering, to creating ganaches, and boxing the chocolates. Having now undertaken 5 hours worth of training with Chocolate Craft, we feel confident in being able to make professional-looking chocolates at home, which has exceeded our expectations. My fiancé has a visual impairment, and we are both grateful that Sally kindly assisted him in making his chocolates so that he could participate in the workshop to the full. Thank you to the Chocolate Craft team for an informative and engaging Masterclass experience.

Bought a chocolate making workshop experience for my mum's birthday (through virgin experience) and had such a nice time! Sally and Jen were super friendly, kind and made the experience really fun. We all really enjoyed the day and would recommended it to anyone who loves chocolate, or being a bit creative! We got to fill and decorate a tray of chocolates (24!) and there was lots of choice of flavours, chocolate types and additional bits. It was a good laugh as well - I've been to other workshops where they can be quite "strict" - but these ladies were very happy for you to go crazy 🤣

Incredible afternoon with Pippa at Chocolate craft. A great way to spend a rainy afternoon. With the added benefit of being able to bring the chocolates home. Pippa was knowledgeable and really helpful with choices of chocolate and suitable combinations. Can’t wait to book the master class in the future. Hanna & Rob

Had a fabulous time at Chocolate Craft. We went for my Mum's 90th Birthday and she had all her family around her to help her celebrate. The workshop is great for any age and the instructors were brilliant and made us feel so welcome. Making Chocolate was so much fun and there was plenty of tasting going on. Highly recommended it. 😊
