Chocolate Ganache For Chocolate Glazed Madeleines Recipes

CHOCOLATE GLAZED MADELEINES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Coat the molds first with vegetable-oil spray, then lightly rub with room-temperature butter. Do not leave any lumps of butter in the indentations of the mold.
• Set molds on a baking tray. To keep them level, prop them up with loosely crumpled aluminum foil.
• Melt the butter and allow it to cool while proceeding with the recipe.
• Using the whisk attachment on an electric mixer, beat together the eggs and sugar until tripled in bulk, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the salt, vanilla, and lemon zest, mixing thoroughly. Add the flour in 3 batches, very quickly shifting speed from low to high after each addition. Add the melted butter in the same manner.
• Using the whisk, scrape sides and bottom of the bowl, carefully blending batter so the butter doesn't settle to the bottom.
• Fill the prepared molds three-quarters full. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes, depending on size of mold. Invert cakes onto wire racks as soon as they are removed from oven. When thoroughly cooled, glaze with Chocolate or White Chocolate Ganache.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Place chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer. (Do not let it come to a rapid boil- that's too hot!) Pour over chocolate, then let it sit for 2-3 minutes to gently soften the chocolate.
• With a metal spoon or small rubber spatula, very slowly stir until completely combined and chocolate has melted. The finer you chopped the chocolate, the quicker it will melt with the cream. If it's not melting, do not microwave it. See Troubleshooting Chocolate Ganache in blog post above.
• Ganache can be ready to use as a drizzle or you can let it sit at room temperature to cool and thicken. It will fully cool within 2 hours. Refrigerating speeds this up, but the ganache will not cool evenly. Stir it a few times as it sets in the refrigerator so it remains even and smooth.
• Once completely cool and thick, the ganache can be piped with a piping tip or scooped with a spoon. You can also beat the cooled thickened ganache with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until light in color and texture, about 4 minutes on medium-high speed.
• Cover tightly and store ganache in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Once ganache cools completely, you can cover it tightly and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator. To rewarm or thin out again, stir constantly over low heat on the stove in either (1) a double boiler or (2) in a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the simmering water.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE

Steps:

• Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Scald the cream. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and gently stir to melt all the chocolate. This can be made up to 3 days before and reheated slightly for use. The glaze should drizzled over the puffs when its room temperature, or slightly warm, but still liquid. If the glaze is hot, it will drip too much.;

CHOCOLATE GANACHE FOR CHOCOLATE GLAZED MADELEINES

Steps:

• Combine chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a double boiler and let chocolate melt over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When mixture is satiny smooth, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Place madeleines on a rack over a tray lined with parchment. Pour chocolate over madeleines, making sure all sides are covered. (Try to keep crumbs from dropping onto the tray, so chocolate can be used again.)
• When the chocolate has been absorbed into the madeleines, apply a second coat, glazing as evenly as possible.
• Transfer madeleines to a clean rack to dry.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a large mixing bowl. Pour the cream into a saucepan with the sugar and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously until the sugar is melted. Bring to the boil, then quickly remove from the heat, pour over the chocolate and whisk until smooth and glossy. Use straight away or leave to cool down a little until thick enough to spread on a cake. Alternatively, leave to cool completely, then beat with an electric whisk until light and fluffy and spread on a cake.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth., For a pourable ganache, cool, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 85°-90° and is slightly thickened, about 40 minutes. Pour over cake, allowing some to drape down the sides. Spread ganache with a spatula if necessary to evenly coat, working quickly before it thickens. Let stand until set., For spreadable ganache, chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches a spreading consistency. Spread over cake.

WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE FOR CHOCOLATE GLAZED MADELEINES

Steps:

• Place chopped white chocolate in a warm, dry stainless-steel bowl. Put the bowl in a warm spot, such as a gas oven with just the pilot light on or an electric oven set at 99 degrees. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon (see note).
• Mix together the melted chocolate and heavy cream until smooth.
• Place madeleines on a rack over a tray lined with parchment. Pour chocolate over madeleines, making sure all sides are covered. (Try to keep crumbs from dropping onto the tray, so chocolate can be used again.)
• When the chocolate has been absorbed into the madeleines, apply a second coat, glazing as evenly as possible.
• Transfer cakes to a clean rack to dry.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.
• Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.
