White Chocolate Ackee Ganache

Chantal
An interesting spin on white chocolate ganache, this is a semi soft ganache and isn't suitable for frosting. It is sweet from the white chocolate with a mild nutty finish from the ackee in the end

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g White Chocolate
  • 25 g Unsalted Butter cut into smaller pieces
  • 75 g Heavy cream
  • 150 g Parboiled/canned ackee

Instructions
 

  • Place white chocolate and butter in a bowl (a metal bowl is best).
  • Heat heavy cream just to a boil (I heated mine in the microwave for about a minute
  • Pour heavy cream over white chocolate and butter in bowl and let side for a few minutes.
  • In the meantime, pass the ackee through a fine sieve (if your blender is small enough you may be able to puree it that way but for me I found the sieve to be easier for the amount)
  • Whisk the white chocolate mixture till smooth then whisk in the pureed ackee till well combined.
  • Cover bowl with plastic and chill overnight or till firm.
  • Once firm and you’re ready to use the ganache; using either a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the ganache for a couple minutes till fluffy.
