Milk chocolate ganache advice please

6 replies

I've inly ever made dark chocolate ganache and it seems online that's what most people use but this is covering a toddlers cake so don't want it to be too bitter.

Would you use 1.1 ratio of cream and milk chocolate still?

And advice on type of milk chocolate? Standard cooking milk chocolate?

Yes that’s fine x

I would use the same ratio

Don't us cooking chocolate, just use a big bar of milk choc as it will taste much nicer and less sweet. I've not done a milk choc ganache, but I am sure if you use the same principals as doing dark choc it will be fine.

Meant to come back and say thanks for the tips!

Used the same ratio and normal milk chocolate instead of cooking and it's turned out well

Too late, but its worth reducing the cream slightly, especially if its going to be warm, or you need it to set firm.
White chocolate you need to reduce the cream quite a bit.
Glad the cake was a success.
