Buttermilk Ganache

Buttermilk Ganache

Buttermilk in a gananche? It shouldn't work, but it does!

Yield
1 batch

Ingredients

3 ounces (by weight) low fat buttermilk
7 ounces (by weight) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped (I use Merkens dark)
1/2 tablespoon butter, cut into 1/8" pieces and chilled
Instructions

Ganache is traditionally made with cream, but this works and has an interesting tang to it.

Heat the buttermilk until it just starts to boil, stirring occasionally, then add the chocolate and stir until fully melted.

Add the butter pieces and stir slowly.

Strain through a fine sieve and allow to cool. (The buttermilk will curdle a bit, this removes the lumps.)

This produces enough ganache to cover an 8 x 8 pan of brownies.

Spread the word
