ganaches
Chocolate cream mixtures
Ganaches is the plural of ganache, a rich mixture of chocolate and cream used in confections.
Ganache serves as a filling for truffles, a glaze for cakes, or a base for mousse.
The ratio of chocolate to cream determines consistency—more chocolate yields a firmer ganache for truffles, more cream a pourable glaze: She piped the ganaches into the chocolate shells.
