Ingredients:

  • 340g high-quality white chocolate (minimum 28% cocoa butter), finely chopped
  • 120ml heavy whipping cream (minimum 35% fat), for heating
  • 240ml heavy whipping cream (minimum 35% fat), kept cold
  • 1 whole vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • 1.5g fine sea salt
  • 60g cold mascarpone cheese

Instructions:

  1. Prep the chocolate. Place 340g of finely chopped white chocolate and 1.5g of sea salt into a heat proof glass bowl. Note: Fine chopping ensures the chocolate melts evenly without overheating the cream.
  2. Infuse the cream. In a small saucepan, combine 120ml of heavy cream and the seeds from one scraped vanilla bean. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
  3. Combine. Pour the hot cream directly over the white chocolate. Let it sit undisturbed for exactly 2 minutes. Note: This allows the heat to penetrate the chocolate and melt the cocoa butter gently.
  4. Emulsify. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until it is perfectly smooth and glossy.
  5. Cool down. Gradually pour in the remaining 240ml of cold heavy cream and 60g of cold mascarpone while continuing to blend.
  6. Seal and chill. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the liquid. Refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours. until completely cold and slightly thickened.
  7. Whipped aeration. Transfer the chilled base to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
  8. The final whisk. Whisk on medium high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until the frosting holds stiff, pipeable peaks. > Chef's Tip: Stop the mixer the second you see the whisk leaving distinct trails in the frosting. White chocolate ganache can go from perfect to grainy in about 15 seconds of over whipping.
