Ginger Sour Ganache
The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley
Yield: 60 to 75 chocolates, depending on mold

150 g. The Perfect Purée Ginger Sour blend, at room temperature
450 g. milk chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
15 g. butter at room temperature
1 pinch of salt

  1. Place milk chocolate in a plastic bowl (a glass bowl will retain heat, and may cause chocolate to burn).
  2. Microwave chocolate for a short amount of time, approximately 45 seconds.
  3. Pour Ginger Sour into chocolate and allow to set for about 10 seconds.
  4. Place bowl into microwave again for about 10 seconds.
  5. Remove from microwave and allow to rest another 15 seconds so that the heat in the mixture can distribute.
  6. Begin to stir slowly from the middle of the bowl with a wire whisk, using small circles and slowly graduating to larger circles, until the entire bowl has been blended. If you find the mixture is not melted enough, you can return the mixture to the microwave for another 5 to 10 seconds.
  7. Add the butter and salt to the chocolate and stir until well blended.
  8. Pour mixture into a pastry bag and use it to fill chocolates.
  9. Use milk chocolate for the shell, which showcases the Ginger Sour flavor.

Serving Suggestion:
Use as a filling for molded milk, dark or white chocolates or as a frosting.
