Water Ganache

Mainly composed of chocolate and water, water ganache will add a deep chocolate flavor to your desserts.  Drizzle it over choux buns, use it as a filling in tarts or simply enjoy it with a spoon.

STEP 1

Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 10 to 20-second increments, stirring in-between.

STEP 2

Once completely smooth, add warm water. Stir with a spoon until combined.

Don’t worry if the ganache starts to look grainy and lumpy. Just keep stirring it and it will eventually become smooth.

STEP 3

Strain the ganache through a fine mesh sieve placed over a measuring cup.

STEP 4

Use warm for a pourable consistency or chill if you'd like to pipe it.

You can use whatever chocolate you like and add flavorings such as orange zest. Enjoy!
