*EDIT* I have since adjusted this recipe to be made with 1/3 cup of heavy cream, and 1 cup of mini white chocolate chips.
Colorful drip cakes have been a huge cake trend lately, and this tutorial shows how easy it is to make them! Instead of using candy melts (I don't enjoy the taste), I show you how to make my two ingredient white chocolate ganache. This recipe is so quick, and so delicious! It only takes less than 5 minutes.
The full recipe and instructions for this cake can be found here: cchelsweets.com/2016/08/28/col...

If you add white coloring and everything happens to split into an oily mess like mine did 🥲😂 don’t panic! Just heat it a bit more/add a bit more heavy cream and it’ll come together!

Great video. I’ve been reading a lot of labels since I’ve gotten into baking and working with chocolate. It turns out most chocolate chips are compound chocolate with vegetable oils not real chocolate with coco butter. This allows them to hold up to the heat of baking better. Ghirardelli white chips/morsels are also compound chocolate. (Ingredients: Sugar, Palm Kernel Oil, Whole Milk Powder, Nonfat Dry Milk, Palm Oil, Soy Lecithin - an Emulsifier, Vanilla.) The ingredients are very similar to their candy melts but in different rations so the melts do melt well. Thanks again for the great baking videos.

When storing the extra leftover ganache in the fridge (in the squeeze bottle container), how do you get it to the right consistency (to drip on cake again)? I would think using a microwave would compromise the plastic squeeze bottle container...no?

it doesn't, because you aren't going to heat it up too much! heat it in intervals of 15 seconds, until its just a bit warm to the touch!

yes! I do 15 seconds to start, then 5-10 second intervals until its seems the right warmth/thickness! It can vary depending on how wide your bottle is, and how much ganache is in it! Hope that helps!!

@MissPinkalicious2011 6 жыл бұрын

Appaddict01 These companies have everyone fooled bc their “white chips” contain no actual cocoa butter to call them chocolate. They are actually candy melts that look like white chocolate chips. Just read the ingredients on the bag of the Nestle and Ghirardelli ones and you’ll see they have the same ingredients as candy melts and no cocoa butter. You may like the taste better than the bigger wafers in the craft stores, but they are the same thing. There was a class action lawsuit and settlement about this misleading advertising. So far Trader Joe’s is the only grocery store that I’ve found real white chocolate chips.
