STEP 1: Open a vanilla pod in two and scrape the vanilla seeds with a knife.
STEP 2: In a pot, mix the liquid cream with the vanilla seeds and the opened pod.
STEP 3: Heat the cream on low heat to infuse the vanilla flavor without boiling.
STEP 4: In a heatproof bowl, break the white chocolate into small pieces to facilitate melting.
STEP 5: Once the cream is hot, remove the vanilla pod and pour it in three times over the white chocolate.
STEP 6: Gently mix until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous ganache. If necessary, warm slightly to help with melting.
STEP 7: Let the ganache rest at room temperature to thicken before use.
Preparing a vanilla ganache does not require any special pastry skills. With just a few ingredients like liquid cream and vanilla pod, you can create a base for many sweet preparations. Don’t forget to properly scrape the seeds from the pod to extract the aroma. The double boiler method ensures a smooth and creamy texture, essential for your creations.
If you want a lighter ganache, opt for whipped vanilla ganache, which will add an airy touch to your desserts. Your guests will be impressed by your creations, and this technique is a real asset in your repertoire of recipes.
