Ingredients
 
 

  • 17 grams freeze-dried raspberries
  • 315 grams white chocolate chips
  • 200 grams heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Add freeze-dried raspberries to a food processor or blender and pulse into a powder. Sift out the seeds with a fine mesh sieve.
    17 grams freeze-dried raspberries
  • Add white chocolate chips to a heatproof large bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then add the raspberry powder.
    315 grams white chocolate chips
  • Pour the heavy cream into a separate bowl. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to simmer.
    200 grams heavy cream
  • Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate and let it sit for about 30 seconds to soften the chocolate.
  • Fold the ingredients together with a rubber spatula until smooth. The raspberry powder might clump which is normal.
  • Blend with an immersion blender for a super smooth texture. If you don't have one, add it back to the food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Let the ganache cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. The longer you refrigerate it, the thicker it will be.
  • To whip the ganache, whip on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until it becomes lighter in color with a light and fluffy texture.
  • Spread it in between cake layers or transfer to a piping bag to frost cupcakes or your other favorite desserts.

Notes

Choose premium white chocolate for the smoothest, creamiest ganache. I suggest using chopped chocolate bars or high-quality chocolate chips.
For accuracy, always weigh your ingredients in grams using a kitchen scale.
If your ganache isn't thickening, let it chill for 1-2 more hours. If it's still too runny, gently heat it and mix in more chocolate.
Storage: Store raspberry ganache in an airtight container or cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. It lasts in the fridge for up to 5 days. Chilled ganache will firm up, so let it sit at room temperature for about an hour until it softens. You can also microwave it in 10-second intervals, stirring between each.
