Method:

  1. Heat the Cream: In a bowl, add the chocolate, salt, thickened cream, and vanilla paste. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Once the cream is simmering, remove it from the heat and pour it over the caramelised gold chocolate. Blend together to emulsify the ganache.
  3. Cool the Ganache: Let the ganache cool at room temperature. Once it reaches a suitable consistency, cover it and refrigerate for 12 hours to allow it to set.
  4. Pipe into Eclairs: After resting, the ganache is ready to be piped into your eclairs. Enjoy your delicious creation.  Stay tuned for our Caramel Eclairs recipe!
