I admit that it took me a long time to fully understand how to make white chocolate ganache and even longer figure out how to make it correctly.

What is Ganache?
Ganache is a mixture of chocolate and cream that produces a smooth variety that can be used to drizzle over cakes, or if you let it cool, it can be shaped into truffles, or if you whip the ganache it can be used to fill or ice cakes.
White chocolate is a great alternative to using buttercream. It’s so great that it will do more than enhance the flavor of your cake. White chocolate ganache can also help create a firm surface for your cakes if they will be covered with fondant. This white chocolate ganache recipe is so awesome and it only requires 2 ingredients, with a 3 step process.
Difference between White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Ganache?
The main difference is, of course, the flavour. The dark chocolate ganache is made with dark chocolate, which has a higher content of cacao solids. In contrast, the white chocolate is made with cacao butter, hence the dark chocolate colour.
White chocolate’s cacao butter content makes it a lot more temperamental and, therefore, harder to work with. If the white chocolate is overheated (more than 110F), it separates and renders it unusable. That’s why you always want to be careful not to overheat white chocolate when melting it.
I admit that it took me a really long time to fully understand how to make white chocolate ganache and even longer to figure out how to make it perfectly. I always felt like it was working really well for others and I was somehow missing the secret to making the perfect ganache. It was either too soft, too grainy or too hard! What’s the secret?

The great thing about white chocolate ganache is that you’ve already added liquid to your chocolate to form an emulsion which results in ganache. You don’t have to worry about your chocolate “seizing” by adding food coloring. You can add any food coloring you like to your ganache to color it but if you want some really rich and bright colors, I highly recommend using colors which are formulated for coloring chocolate.
