Vanilla Bean Ganache Recipe

With just six ingredients these vanilla bean ganache chocolates couldn't be any easier to make. We used milk chocolate here, however feel free to use white chocolate or dark chocolate.

Ingredients

1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons corn syrup
1 pound chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon invert sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
decorative sugar of choice

Instructions

In a heavy saucepan, bring cream and corn syrup to boil.

Add butter and invert sugar.

Cool to at least 98°.

Melt chocolate.

Blend with a whisk until a smooth consistency is reached.

Stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste.

CUT GANACHE:

Spread the mixture into a 9" x 9" pan lined with parchment paper, keeping the top as smooth as possible.

Chill for several hours in the refrigerator.

Remove from pan and slice into squares or cut into shapes with a mini cookie cutter.

Dip into melted candy coating or melted and tempered chocolate.

The squares may be kept in the refrigerator for ease of dipping.

Immediately after dipping, sprinkle with decorating sugar of choice.
