These little works of art made from chocolate and various fillings are very popular all over the world and make the hearts of those with a sweet tooth beat faster.
But among all the delicious fillings, there is one that stands out in particular: the ganache.
What exactly is behind this exquisite name?
Ganache is a creamy truffle mixture made from chocolate and cream or even crème fraîche.
Its consistency can vary depending on the ratio of ingredients, but basically it consists of two parts chocolate and one part cream.
This simple but ingenious combination gives the ganache its characteristic texture, which literally melts in your mouth when you bite into it.
However, ganache is not only known for its velvety consistency, but also for its versatility.
By adding different flavors such as vanilla, mocha or alcohol, it can be refined in taste
giving it a very individual touch.
It is particularly important to add butter when using alcohol, as alcohol itself contains no fat and the butter stabilizes the fat content.
This ensures that the ganache is not only perfect in taste, but also in consistency.

But what makes ganache the best praline?

Whether as a filling for pralines, as a topping for desserts or simply enjoyed on its own - ganache seduces anew with every bite.
For those who crave sweet temptations but want to avoid certain ingredients,
ganache also offers options.
It can be prepared without sugar and is therefore also suitable for people with special dietary requirements.
People with nut allergies can also enjoy it without hesitation, as the ganache is completely nut-free.
But what is the best way to store the ganache and how long does it keep?
These are questions that concern many connoisseurs. Basically, it should be stored in a cool place to preserve its consistency.
It will keep for around two weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.
