Chocolate Ganache

Ganache-filled chocolates are always a joy to savour. There’s just something so delightful about discovering that velvety-smooth blend of chocolate and cream that gently coats the tongue and unleashes a burst of buttery cacao goodness. Here at Hotel Chocolat, ganache is what gives so many of our treats their signature silkiness. And if you’re hunting for a gift for a loved one, you’re guaranteed to find it in abundance in any one of our lavish chocolate gift boxes.

A common misconception is that ganache should be reserved for only dark or milk varieties, but in fact, white chocolate ganache, milk chocolate ganache, and dark chocolate ganache each offer their own unique richness and versatility…

White chocolate ganache opens up a world of possibilities, offering a delicate canvas for fragrant, fruity, citrusy notes, like those in our Pineapple & Yuzu Chocolate Selector and our Triple Blackcurrant Selector. When blended with tart, tangy ingredients, white ganache transforms into a creamy-yet-zesty masterpiece that tingles every last taste bud.

Milk and dark chocolate ganache pairs perfectly with a drop of alcohol, too. Take our Cherry Deluxe Selector, for example. Coated in smooth milk and dark chocolate, this heavenly adults-only confection contains just the right amount of amaretto ganache wrapped around a whole kirsch cherry — utter bliss.

Prefer a deep and intense cacao hit with a subtle touch of creaminess to balance out every bite of chocolate ganache? Our 85% Simple Dark Chocolate Truffles might just be your new favourite treat. Wrapped in a satisfyingly snappable dark chocolate shell, these velvety orbs of indulgence house a generous cloud of whipped 85% Ghanaian dark chocolate ganache.
