oakenguyAdding peach-flavored brandy to the truffle ganache worked out even better than I'd hoped! This makes me think good thoughts about the cherry liqueur ganache, currently cooling.
Still iffy about the taste of the chocolate I'm using, the Schaffenbergen or whatever it's called--it melts quickly and is easy to use, but the flavor doesn't quite have the 'legs out from under you' oomph I'm looking for. It's just, you know, there. Hmmm.

Date: 2003-12-03 08:30 am (UTC)My other theory is that the truffle recipe I'm using, with the heavy cream, is a little less potent than the recipe that uses unsalted butter. That's what I'll be experimenting with next.

Hmmm. Butter in chocolate. I'd never considered that...
