Which Aussie Cream Do I Use For Chocolate Ganache?
Baking By CakemummyCC Updated 16 Aug 2011 , 3:25am by Bec005
Hi,
I am thoroughly confused as to which type of cream I should use for a chocolate ganache, to be used as filling inside layers and to go under the fondant of my cake. I already know the ratio but which type?. Some recipes say not to use cream with gelatine, which here in Australia would be "thickened cream"?. Can someone tell me what brand or name of cream I would find in Australia?
Also, I want the inside ganache to be like truffle texture, softer than the outside layer which goes under the fondant...is it the same recipe for both?
Thanking you in advance....
Hi CakemummyCC,
I would recommend using pouring cream because the geletin in the thickened cream will make the ganache set really hard. Dairy Farmers does the pouring cream (blue carton) or there is also another brand in a white carton (can't remember the brand) but it is called pouring cream.
Also if you want your filling to have a softer truffle texture, just increase the cream to chocolate ratio when you make your ganache.
Hope that helps

Thank you for your help, is pouring cream the same as "pure cream"? could not find pouring cream here...
