Ingredients
- 12 oz white chocolate finely chopped (use good quality white chocolate for best results)
- 4 oz heavy cream
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 tsp lavender extract
- 1-2 drops violet gel food coloring
Instructions
- In a medium size microwave safe bowl, stir together the finely chopped white chocolate, the heavy cream, and the salt.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, and stir.
- Continue microwaving in 10-15 second intervals, stirring gently but well each time until smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in the lavender extract and gel food coloring. Use an immersion blender if desired for best results.
- Cover ganache with plastic wrap (directly touching the surface of the ganache) and set aside to cool until set. If desired for quicker setting, transfer ganache to a more shallow dish speed up the process. This can take a 3-4 hours minimum, several is preferred, so make the ganache far enough in advance to allow time for it to set.
