I have never made ganache, have always wanted to and have always been afraid to try it. I don’t like icing or frosting - flavor, texture, etc. I’ve read so many instructions on the web and watched some videos, but yours stuck out - gave me courage. It came out beautifully the first time, shiny/glossy and delicious!!! Thank you for your excellent instructions!!!

[@BrittneeKay]

Oh so happy to hear that!! I’m glad you enjoyed it and it helped you out 🤩 Thanks for sharing!!

[@David__H]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@BrittneeKay]

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment!

[@TrangNguyen-go7tu]

Thank You Brittnee😍 Can we use this for chocolate dripping? Do we need to wait for the chocolate to cool down to certain temperature before dripping it on the whipped cream cake? As always, thank you 🥰

[@BrittneeKay]

You're welcome! Yes, you can definitely use this for a drip cake. Just test it on something vertical to check which consistency you prefer before adding it to the cake. Everyone may have their own preference on how thick or thin they like their drip. I've never used it though on a whipped cream cake. Just make sure you use stabilized whipped cream and that it is set in the fridge before you drip so the drip doesn't harm the cream! :)

[@TrangNguyen-go7tu]

@@BrittneeKay Thank You so much 🥰

[@BrittneeKay]

@@TrangNguyen-go7tu of course!

[@lisajames4641]

I'd like to try using this with chopped dried fruits and nuts for bonbon filling. Any thoughts or tips around that? Thanks!!

[@BrittneeKay]

Yeah I think that could totally work! :) If you chop them really fine you can add them in while it's still fluid and pipe them into the bon bon.

[@habibatalabi3338]

Did you temper the dark couverture chocolate before using for ganache or it’s not necessary

[@BrittneeKay]

I do not temper when making this recipe! But depending on what you use it for you may want to. I usually use this recipe for coating eclairs or topping brownies and it isn’t necessary, but for a bonbon filling you may want to to extend shelf life a bit!

[@andresalejandrolopezmora4247]

Hi, How long does it last in the refrigerator? Thanks 💕

[@BrittneeKay]

In an airtight container I would say about two weeks. I usually don't take that long to use it up though so it is just a guess. I have also frozen it before, but I would use it within a month probably.

[@andresalejandrolopezmora4247]

@@BrittneeKay Thank you so much 💕

[@hannouneh68]

Hi I have a question since we are using ganache to fill the chocolate won't that affect the shelf life for the chocolate ?

[@BrittneeKay]

yes of course! every single filling has a shelf life. there are ways to extend and test that shelf life, but that is not the focus of this particular video. but more to come on my channel!

[@hannouneh68]

Thank you

[@BrittneeKay]

You're welcome!@@hannouneh68

[@deborahmyers3766]

Salted or unsalted butter?

[@BrittneeKay]

I prefer salted butter! : )

[@rosieevans4640]

What can I use if I couldnt find heavy cream?

[@BrittneeKay]

There isn't really a substitute for heavy cream in this recipe, if you want to cut out the dairy you may have to look for a fully vegan filling recipe. Or you can always experiment with something like evaporated milk and see how it turns out!

[@mariamyakob2136]

Hi, could you please make a video about the medical assistant cake or the heart cake please thank you.

[@BrittneeKay]

I'll keep that in mind :)

[@mariamyakob2136]

Appreciate it thank you

[@mariamyakob2136]

But please make it before September

[@hannouneh68]

can you please share making dark and milk chocolate step by step using cacao butter ?

[@BrittneeKay]

do you mean you want to learn how to make chocolate from bean to bar? if so, I can't tell you that will be something on my channel, it is not my expertise, sorry! : )

[@hannouneh68]

No what I meant suppose have cacao butter and I want to use that to make my own dark and milk chocolate for sure not the bean part 😃🌺

[@BrittneeKay]

Ahh ok! Even still, I'm not familiar on how to do that but more importantly how to do it well. One day I think I'll dive into all of that but as of now someone else will be able to give you much better advice : )@@hannouneh68

[@braiwiberg3957]

I love your chokers :)

[@BrittneeKay]

Thanks :) :) :)
