Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream ~240 g
  • 3.5 oz white chocolate ~100 g
  • 1.5 oz pistachio paste ~42g
  • 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Bloom Gelatin: Stir gelatin into water in a small bowl and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
    1 teaspoon powdered gelatin, 1 tablespoon water
  • Chop Chocolate: Chop white chocolate and place it in a large heatproof bowl.
    3.5 oz white chocolate
  • Simmer Cream: Heat half the heavy cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer (look for small bubbles around the edges), then remove from heat.
    1 cup heavy cream
  • Dissolve Gelatin: Add gelatin to the hot cream and whisk until fully dissolved.
  • Combine: Pour the gelatin-cream mixture over the chocolate, let sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth.
  • Add Pistachio Paste: Add the pistachio paste into the bowl and stir to combine.
    1.5 oz pistachio paste
  • Blend: Use an immersion blender to mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes, ensuring no lumps remain and everything is incorporated.
  • Add Cream: Incorporate the remaining cream to cool the mixture, then blend for another minute.
  • Refrigerate: Cover the ganache with plastic wrap in direct contact and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  • Whip: Whip the chilled ganache with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. The whisks should leave clearly visible trails. Stop immediately if you notice any graininess.
  • Pipe: Pipe the ganache immediately after whipping.

Notes

- You can increase the pistachio paste amount up to 2 oz (~56g) for more intense pistachio flavor.
