Chocolate icing (or sauce) - Also suitable for imitation ganache
8 02 (240g) chocolate couverture
3 oz (9Og) stock syrup (see page 257)
1. Melt chocolate in bain-marie.
2. Warm solution of stock syrup to approximately 120°F (49°C).
3. Add the syrup to the melted couverture, a little at a time, stirring
each addition well in. At first the mixture will thicken and
become similar to toffee but as the syrup is increased the mixture
will become thinner and approach the consistency of fondant.
4. The consistency may be slightly adjusted by the use of more
syrup if necessary. It is used like fondant for covering purposes.
When set, it forms a skin but the icing remains soft.
Ganache
1h p t (3 dl ) fresh cream
2 lb (480g) chocolate couverture (milk or plain)
1. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie.
2. Place cream in a clean saucepan and bring to the boil.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the melted chocolate. Whisk
until completely mixed and smooth.
Notes:
1. This mixing can be flavoured by the addition of spirits and
liqueurs and its consistency varied by altering the ratio of
creadchocolate. For a thinner mixture, increase the cream and
for a thicker one increase the chocolate.
(a) Used hot, it may be poured over a sponge (or similar base)
like fondant when it will set into a thin, soft eating coating.
(b) If refrigerated, it sets to a firm paste, which may be moulded
into chocolate centres and sweets.
(c) It may be whisked when slightly warm to produce a light
cream which may be piped into a variety of patterns like
buttercream.
2. Ganache can be used in four ways:
(d) As a filling, either on its own or mixed with other fillings.
Imitation ganache Several concoctions can be made from chocolate and liquids to give
a filling having similar properties to ganache (except flavour). The
chocolate icing recipe, once cold, makes a passable imitation.
The best imitation is to use either artificial cream or evaporated
milk instead of fresh cream.
