Titanium Dioxide For White Chocolate Ganache!
Decorating By sabash Updated 13 Feb 2018 , 10:53pm by -K8memphis
Hello,
So I've researched the forums and can't seem to find an answer for this. I've already made my ganache. Is there a way to add titanium dioxide now to make it whiter?
I colored my ganache blue, but it looks more green as it was yellow to start with? Is there a way I can add TA now to make the color better?
Also, for future reference, how do you add TA to make ganache whiter? In the chocolate or cream? I'm hoping it wont alter the taste/consistency!
Thanks so much! xx
The best way to colour the ganache is to add any gel or paste colour (in this case, white) to the cream prior to adding it to the chocolate.
I find that white colouring seems to throw off the setting abilities of the ganache though.
You can definitely add colour to the ganache after it is made but I am not sure that you will have much luck getting a pure blue coloured ganache that will set up properly.
I am not sure how you would go with powdered colour if that is what you are going to use though.as I have never used white powder.
I've used wilton gel colors. I always add the color once I've made the ganache (the two have been mixed together). That seems to work for me.
Only problem is that because the ganache was yellow to begin with and I didn't add titanium dioxide beforehand, the color is more aqua green than it is sky blue, which is what I wanted.
Do you think I should add titanium dioxide now or just leave it?
even using real vanilla ie brown in white icing will eliminate it ever being pastel pink or blue -- i try to err on the side of less food color is better -- titanium dioxide is weirdy-bal weird -- mucho strange-o --
some of us -- use a bit of purple to pull some of the yellow out -- but honestly if you go with non-cocoa butter white 'chocolate' like from the grocery store -- it's whiter in the first place :) some people gag and pooh pooh it -- whatever -- it's delicious -- if you add vanilla powder to it it is frankly irresistibly amazing --
paler colors need more care -- starting with a yellow product sets the tone as you've discovered -- but try the purple in a little portion and see how it goes --
white choco thoughts
Vanilla comes in powder?
Oh yum, that sounds really really good! I love vanilla, it is my absolute fav flavour.
yeah powdered -- it's great to sprinkle on a muffin top -- I usually get mine from king arthur flour -- it's also on amazon
Like -K8memphis advised, I use a touch of purple to neutralize yellowish tones.
Thanks guys!
So, from what I understand, non cocoa butter ‘chocolate’ is basically compound chocolate? Merckens wafers and all are what your talking about right -k8memphis?
I don’t mind using it honestly.
It’s just, I’m in the UK. And I’m looking for a substitute for all these American brands. Anyone have an idea?
Thank you!!! You all are so amazing xxx
i just use whatever brand the grocery store carries -- you're very welcome -- best to you
