Callebaut Gold – ratio for ganache
Has anyone made ganache using Callebaut Gold caramel callets? If so, what is the ideal chocolate/cream ratio for this chocolate – I’ve just made ganache using a 2.5 : 1 ratio (as for white choc) but it doesn’t seem right, rather “gluey” and a nightmare to scrape … any tips appreciated!

Hi SueC
I would treat the gold the same as white chocolate. The ‘gold’ is caramelized white chocolate. Depending on weather, heat, and humidity, the ratio is between 3:1 and in exceptionally hot conditions 4:1
Paul has white ganache and dark ganache tutorials in the free section of the Cakeflix tutorials library:
