Can you make milk choc. ganache? I made semi-sweet this weekend and didn't really care for it. I think I would prefer a milk choc. or maybe a 1/2 milk 1/2 semi. Can this be done? If so do I need to adjust the ganache recipe for it?

TIA

You should be able to use any chocolate you want, milk, semi-sweet, dark to make the ganache.

Yes, but you do have to adjust the ratios (will depend on what you want to use it for). You need the most amount of cream for dark, less for milk, and least for white.

Very true about adjusting the chocolate:cream ratio. I tried to make milk chocolate ganache yesterday (using the same ratio of cream as for semi-sweet chocolate), and it would not set. I even put the bowl of ganache in the freezer to make it harden (which it did), but as soon as I took it out it started its free flow again.

The family looked at it a little strange when I put the gooey mass on the dinner table, but after I told them it was lava-flow cake, they dug in.

Live and learn!
