Does anybody have any idea what is "spanish ganache" and what makes it different from normal ganache?

Never heard of it either Mandy.  Knowing the spanish and their love for sweet things, it's probably got extra sugar in it or something, but I really don't know.  Where did you hear about it?

It's a cake shop in Cape Town South Africa (you can see many of their cakes on flikr - Charley's Cake ANgels) and she makes spanish ganache (which she also claims is her own invention) so I was just curious to find out what would make it different from normal ganache :-)

mmm - looks  like it might be her own invention.  I googled it and could find nothing.  Their cakes do look amazing though - I love the white chocolate textured ones.  Let's see if someone else here knows about this stuff!

200 cc Cream
50 g glucose syrup [not corn syrup]*
200 g dark/black/bittersweet chocolate [>50% cocoa solids]

Cannot find one for white chocolate - reduce the amount of cream?

* some use a thick sugar syrup ..

Oh thankyou so much suziq - gonna try this weekend :-)  I should imagine for the white you would use more chocolate, say 350g white :-)

Good ole' Suziq - she always comes up with a great answer, so thanks from me too!
