Ingredients

200 g high-quality white chocolate (with a high cocoa butter content)
200 ml whipping cream (33 %)
100 ml coconut cream (not coconut milk)

Preparation procedure

Preparing the chocolate Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a tall heatproof container suitable for an immersion blender.
Heating the cream Heat the whipping cream in a saucepan until almost boiling. It must not boil, only gently bubble at the edges. Overheating could cause the ganache to seize.
Combining with the chocolate Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for about 1 minute. Then blend the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth and glossy.
Adding the coconut cream Add the coconut cream and briefly blend again until the mixture is perfectly smooth and homogeneous.
Chilling Cover the ganache with cling film so that it touches the surface of the cream, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2–4 hours, ideally overnight.
Whipping After chilling, whip the ganache with a hand or stand mixer into a fluffy cream. At this stage it is ready for filling, decorating and garnishing.
