No matter which chocolate color or flavor you choose, the method remains the same. Today, we’ll guide you step by step on how to make saffron ganache.
Ingredients for Saffron Ganache
50 g breakfast cream (about 5 tablespoons)
100 g block chocolate (about 1/3 cup)
1/4 teaspoon saffron powder
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
How to Make Saffron Ganache
Place the breakfast cream in a small nonstick pan over low heat.
As soon as the edges of the cream start to simmer, add the chopped white chocolate.
Stir in the saffron powder and mix continuously until the ingredients are smooth and the color brightens, then turn off the heat.
Add the butter (at room temperature) and stir well. For extra shine, you can add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Let the mixture cool slightly. When it is lukewarm, you can drizzle it over your cake using a spoon or a disposable piping bag. For larger drip effects along the cake edges, let it cool a bit more.
This ganache is quick and easy to prepare, incredibly delicious, and fragrant thanks to the saffron. It adds a beautiful color and elegance to simple or saffron-flavored cakes. Enjoy making it!
