How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter ganache
Semi melt milk chocolate in the microwave using 30 seconds intervals or use double boiled method.
Tip from Marina: use plastic cup or bowl for melting chocolate. Do not use glass!
Add peanut butter into melted chocolate. Do not mix! In a small pot, bring heavy cream and glucose syrup to simmer. Do not boil! Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate and peanut butter in 3 parts, mixing with the help of rubber spatula. Mix fast and pressing down as you add hot mixture. Add pinch of salt. Emulsify with a hand blender.
Tip from Marina: Pour ganache into tall glass or deep container for emulsion.
Ganache should be smooth and silky. Transfer to flat glass or plastic container and cover with plastic wrap “to contact”. Let set in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours or overnight. When you are ready to assemble macarons, transfer ganache into pipping bag with round pipping tip and fill macarons. Place filled macarons into air-tight container and keep in the fridge for 8-12 hours or overnight. Macarons need to “mature” before you can enjoy them.
