Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon (2 g) gelatin powder Note 1
- ½ cup (100 g) white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (60 g) canned coconut milk Note 2
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) freeze-dried strawberry powder Note 3
- 1/8 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix gelatin powder with 1 tablespoon water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave.
- Heat coconut milk in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. It should be around 110°F (45°C).
- Add a third of the warm cream to the melted chocolate and stir gently with a spatula. It will look grainy and seized, but don’t worry. Stir in another third of the cream and mix until almost smooth. Then stir in all the remaining cream–it should turn silky smooth.
- Add bloomed gelatin, strawberry powder, and salt.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the ganache for about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the ganache into a flat container and cover the entire surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Let the ganache set at room temperature for 3-6 hours, or overnight, before using it to fill macarons. (You may refrigerate it for about 1 hour to expedite the process.) Transfer the ganache into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
Notes
Note 1: I use Knox unflavored gelatin powder.
Note 2: Don’t shake the can before opening. Scoop out the solids and leave the liquid.
Note 3: To make the freeze-dried strawberry powder, crush the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor or by using a rolling pin. Then sift through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and large pieces.
Storing Tips:
- Store leftover ganache in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Dairy-free ganache also freezes well! Freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, blend as needed to reincorporate the ingredients.
