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.

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.
