What is a
whipped ganache ?
Whipped ganache is one of the staple
recipes of French Pastry. It differs from
the classic ganache by the addition of cold
heavy/whipping cream to obtain a soft,
foamy ganache with a much lighter
texture. At Sab Pastries, we only use
whipped ganache because of its light and
creamy texture which goes better as cake
fillings.
Essential ingredients
Chocolate At Sab Pastries, we only use Lindt chocolate, either Piccoli
couverture chocolate or the 100g bars. This brand offers a
chocolate that has a very good taste and good dosage of sugar.
You can use any other couverture chocolate such Callebaut,
Valrhona, etc.
Utensils needed
Digital kitchen scale Baking silicone spatula
Stainless steel or glass mixing bowl Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
Small or medium saucepan or pot Measuring spoons
Important information about the recipes
The recipes in this eBook can be divided or multiplied to decrease or increase
quantities. Divide or multiply the quantities of all ingredients by the same number.
Caution: the melting process of milk chocolate and dark chocolate is very delicate, so
be careful to not overheat, otherwise the chocolate will burn.
Be careful not to whip the ganache too quickly or for too long when whipping it,
otherwise it will have a grainy texture and will be ruined.
Always keep the whipped ganache in the fridge anytime you are not immediately
using it. The whipped ganache melts as it comes to room temperature.
Heavy cream to be heated refers to the whipping cream that must be heated and
mixed with the melted chocolate.
Cold heavy cream refers to the heavy cream that will be added to the chocolate and
hot cream emulsion to cool it.
A bain-marie is a water bath or double boiler, for that, just put your mixing bowl over
a pot of simmering water.
How to store
The ganache, before being whipped, can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days and up
to 2 months in the freezer.
The following recipes are enough for 3 layers of filling for 2x 6-inch cakes, and one 8-
inch cake.

Peanut butter whipped ganache

Almond whipped ganache
Coconut whipped ganache
