Vanilla Ganache For Macarons

For approximately 30 macarons

Ingredients

• 200g heavy cream (double cream)

• 220g white chocolate

• 2 vanilla pods

Steps

1. Grate the vanilla pods to get the beans

2. Add the bean and grated pods to the cream in a pan

3. Heat the cream and stop before boiling (80°C)

4. Add the white chocolate away from direct heat

5. Mix until you get an homogenous mixture

6. Cool it down before putting it in the fridge overnight (if you don’t want to wait, put it in the freezer and check after 2 hours if it is at the right creamy consistency)

Tips

• If you find Vanilla Bourbon, the flavour will be even more intense

• If you use a non-serrated knife, you can get the bean without cutting in two parts the pod. Instead you cut one end of the pod and you press with edge of the knife all along

• If the cream is boiling, wait few seconds before melting the white chocolate in
