Can you add colors to ganache without causing it sieze? I need to make a black frosting and thought of making a dark chocolate ganache and adding a touch of black gel color.
Thanks

I colour my white chocolate ganache all the time with gel food colour. The trick is to add the colour to the cream BEFORE heating it.

I would use candy colors or go with self-confessed recommendation. You could add in melted black candy melts as well. I don't think it would take much of the candy melts to get the ganache to black but I haven't tried
just thinking out loud.
