I was wondering if I can tint dark chocolate ganache black?? Has anyone tried this? And would I use candy color or gel icing color? TIA
Ya I was wondering about seizing which it why I thought maybe candy colors would be better.
Oil-based colours would be better if you'll need to use a lot for bold/dark colour (less risk of seizing), but I have had success several times with Wilton gel colours (to make white chocolate ganache grass-green for example) I add the food colouring to the cream while heating up to boil then tip the coloured cream over the chocolate. I've had ganache turn oily and horrible when I've mixed gel colour in at the end. Here's a pic of my green ganache, just for interest sake:
