Notes
- White chocolate: Make sure you use good quality chocolate for the best results. Your ganache will look and taste better with quality chocolate. You can also use white chocolate chips instead.
- Microwave: Do not heat up your chocolate and cream for more than 30 seconds in the microwave as this may result in burnt chocolate.
- Stir: Make sure you stir the mixture in between heating. This will prevent the mixture from getting stuck together.
- Pistachio - Use good-quality pistachio paste or puree for the best flavor. You can also add a drop of green food coloring if you want to intensify the color.
