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

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