  • Ganache Yield | 575 Grams/About 2 Cups Plus 2 Tablespoons
    GANACHE YIELD | 575 GRAMS/ABOUT 2 CUPS PLUS 2 TABLESPOONS INGREDIENTS / WEIGHT / MEASURE (APPROXIMATE ) Dark chocolate couverture (64%) / 300 grams / 10 ½ ounces Butter (French style, 82% fat) / 50 grams / 1 ¾ ounces or 3 ½ tablespoons Clover honey / 20 grams / 1 scant tablespoon Vanilla bean / ½ a bean / ½ a bean Heavy cream (35% fat) / 275 grams / 1 ¼ cups Ganache is a chocolate filling used in pastry and especially in chocolate candies (think truffles and filled chocolates), usually made of dark, milk, or white chocolate, heavy cream, butter with a fat content of 82 percent, and a flavor like vanilla or coffee. It is fairly simple to make, but without some basic understanding of the ingredients and the process, things can go wrong. Ask my students— they sometimes experience anger and frustration when they are learning to make ganache. But ganache is so delicious that it should never be the cause of stress. Follow these instructions and you should not have any problems. BEFORE YOU BEGIN Get out the following equipment and allow all of the ingredients to come to room temperature: Digital scale, set to metric weights 1 large chef’s knife 1 small microwave-safe bowl or ramekin 1 small rubber spatula 1 medium microwave-safe bowl 1 paring knife 1 medium saucepan Plastic wrap 1 medium rubber spatula 1 digital thermometer 1 small stainless steel hand whisk 1 immersion blender Read this recipe through twice from start to finish. NOTE: For this small amount of ganache I like to use a rubber spatula. For anything larger a whisk is your tool of choice.

  • By Jonathan Hayes Surbhi Sahni, Pastry Chef, Devi, New York City I
    By Jonathan Hayes Surbhi Sahni, pastry chef, Devi, New York City I was raised Hindu in Delhi by a conservative Brahmin mother, but my father was very open- minded, so I went to a Catholic school and had many Indian Catholic friends. I loved that they celebrated Christmas very much the way we celebrated Diwali, the Festival of the Lights, with candles and fireworks. I'd sneak off to their houses and eat Christmas cake filled with candied fruit, being sure to hide the crumbs before I went home. One day my brother brought home a plastic Christmas tree—he was braver than I was. After that, we began to celebrate Christmas. I've made my friend's mom's Christmas cake from memory, adding dried figs because they're so delicious, and more of the warm, spicy ginger we love so much in India. Bring an exotic Indian flavor straight to your family table with the warm, spicy ginger in this delicious holiday dessert. Fig Cake Recipe Courtesy of Surbhi Sahni Servings: Makes one 6-inch cake (about 12 servings) You can use a 6-inch ovenproof soufflé dish or straight-sided casserole in place of the cake pan, if necessary. Ingredients Cake: • 2 cups finely chopped dried Calimyrna figs (about 10 ounces) • 1 Tbsp. freshly grated ginger • 1/4 cup rum • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 medium orange) • 8 Tbsp. (1 stick) butter , room temperature, plus more for pan • 1 cup flour , plus more for pan • 1 tsp. baking powder • Pinch salt • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar • 1/4 cup honey • 3 eggs , room temperature • 1 tsp.
