Can I use organic peanut butter?

Organic or natural peanut butter will separate too easily and won't work well in this recipe. Creamy, smooth peanut butter is the best option.

Can I use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?

This recipe has not been tested with other types of chocolate. If you want to experiment, decrease the amount of milk or dark chocolate you add. Generally white chocolate ganache uses more chocolate than other chocolate ganaches.

Why is my ganache lumpy?

If the ganache is still lumpy after adding the cream, it may be that the cream wasn’t hot enough. Add the mixture back to a nonstick pan or a double boiler and heat on low, stirring until smooth.

½ tsp vanilla extract

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Heat the cream in a small pan over medium heat. Bring the cream almost to a boil, but don’t let it actually boil.
Once the cream is heated through and almost about to boil — it should have lots of steam coming off of it, remove it from the stove. Immediately pour it over the peanut butter, white chocolate and vanilla extract.
Let the mixture sit for 30 seconds to begin melting the chocolate.
Then, whisk together the ganache until smooth. Do this step quickly before the ganache begins to cool, otherwise it won’t fully melt into a smooth mixture.
The ganache will harden as it cools. Let it harden to the consistency you need before using it.

Notes

Storage: Store ganache in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Store any desserts made with the ganache in the fridge.
Use a double boiler. If you are having difficulty not burning the cream, use a double boiler instead. Add all the ingredients t0 the boiler and heat on low to medium heat until the ganache is smooth.
