How do I make too soft truffle ganache firmer?

by Debby Neve
(Castine, ME)

I've made the ganache, according to the recipe. Waited a whole day. It's still too soft and sticky to roll into a ball. What can I do. I've got quite an investment in chocolate and creme for 120 truffles!

Ganache
by: Framk M

If you start with the correct balance of chocolate and cream there should be no real problem of it not firming up.
I use 3/5ths chocolate to to 2/5 cream. There are variations to this but it's a good starting point.
Boil the cream,stirring to make sure it doesn't burn; add the melted chocolate to the cream and mix. I prefer to melt the chocolate as this ensures I get no little lumps of unmelted chocolate. Allow to cool but not firm; at this point adding flavouring. I like using Bermudian Black Rum which is quite strong but imparts a lovely flavour.
I leave overnight in the 'fridge and then work off; it handles quite well.
