I have a good recipe for raspberry ganache. DOes anyone know if I can use it as a filing and leave it at room temp. for 3 days? THanks.

So you want a milk or dark chocolate ganache with raspberry flavoring?

Just make your standard ganache and add LorAnn raspberry flavoring and/or raspberry liqueur.

If your recipe calls for adding a raspberry puree into your ganache though, I would tend to want to refrigerate that, as the raspberry sauce may attract bacterial growth/mold. JMO.

It does call for puree. WIll it be ok for 2 days? Will the loranne taste like real raspberries?

It will be okay for about a week - in the fridge.

I've only used the LorAnn oils in sugar candy, but they've all tasted yummy.

I am going to try it. I csn leave it in the fridge ubtil the day of. It sgould be ok. I just did not want to ruin my fondant. I do love Lorane oils. I have not tried the raspberry though.

Generally speaking, unless you are dealing with 3D fondant decorations that need to stand up and you don't want to risk them wilting/collapsing, your fondant should be fine in the fridge. I refrigerate all of my fondant cakes but I'm no pro; take a look at MacsMom's cakes, she uses a modified MMF recipe (Rhonda's Ultimate MMF, with glycerine) and she has said that she refrigerates ALL of her cakes.

And yep, raspberry ganache with puree will be totally fine out of the fridge for several hours i.e. the day of the party. It sounds SO GOOD with fresh puree! Take the cake out early to allow time for the moisture to evaporate.

thanks

Hi erilay,

I use the Lorann Raspberry in my choc ganache.....it's one of my most requested fillings!!! Tastes really yummy!! If you use the raspberry puree you will need to refridge though.

You could always use Chambourd to flavor ganache, Delish!!!

I have never used raspberry Lorann in ganache but I use it in my chocolate buttercream all the time. It is decadent.

Raspberry Ganache is delicious... I use a raspberry liquor!

Hi cherrycakes,

I use the recipe from Alton Brown:

16 oz Bittersweet Choc Chips ( although I use 8 oz semi sweet and 8 oz bittersweet)
16 oz heavy cream

to this I add 1 1/2 tsp Lorann Raspberry flavoring. This can be adjusted to taste though!

Enjoy...
