Best method to make Chocolate Ganache?

[BeezeeBee]

Planning to make cake with ganache decoration. Will do some pioing work. So I'll use a 2:1 ratio for chocolate:cream.

Have never used the TMX to make ganache. There are some variations in the method from searching the Forum, but not a lot of information. A bit nervous as ganaches are very fickle things. They can seize, have air bubbles etc etc. Temperamental things...but oh so delicious 

Is the method in the EDC fool proof?
Grate choc 30 sec, sp 8
Add cream. 2 mins, 50C, sp 5?

How do you make your ganache with the thermomix?

Anyone?

I've just sent you a PM BZB with a recipe from the ILCILT cookbook for you to compare recipes

Beezeebee, I use the same ratio as you are looking at but I've always just done it in the microwave in a tupperware jug. I find it much quicker this way as I can then leave the jug in the fridge to cool and come to the consistency I need and then reheat it again if needed for a second coating. I have followed the EDC method once but found it more time consuming to then get it out of the TMX bowl and into the jug. Sorry after all that I'm offering no assistance

Uni and Wonder, thank you for your helpful feedback. CC, thanks for sending the recipe to me

Have made ganache so many times using stovetop, and it behaves differently with choc:cream ratio. Different brands of chocolates give different results as well. My notes on ganache are 2 pages long now!

Will have to try it out in the thermomix, and hope that it comes out well *fingers crossed*
