Ganache help!!

[miss_thenorth]

Hi guys! I'm making truffles for Christmas gifts, and while making white chocolate ganache, I got the measurements wrong. For truffles it is supposed to Be two parts choc to one part cream. I put in too much cream and don't have enough white chocolate to balance it out.

Will I be able to save this ganache by reheating in a double boiler and adding the new chocolate when i get it? or should I just bake a cake and frost it with this runny ganache. I have never reheated it, and know that it can get grainy etc.

Please help?!?!?

Yes, you can definitely warm it up when you get more chocolate to thicken it. I do mine in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time.

ETA: The reason I use the microwave is that in the past I have accidentally gotten moisture from the double boiler in the chocolate, and it seized.

so when should we expect our package of truffles??

i'm with Ldychef2k - see if you can microzap it for a few secs at a time. i think white chocolate is more picky than dark or milk chocolate...

I know white chocolate is more finicky and b/c of that, i was trying to be more careful, and I think that is why I screwed up.

Thanks, I will try nuking them after I get back from my unexpected trip tot he store.

So far, I have made butterscotch fudge, messed up white chocolate truffles, and chocolate truffles. biscotti is on the list, as is chocolate fudge, chocolate walnut fudge.

Sorry, I'm not taking orders at this time
