Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the chocolate cream need to chill for at least two hours before whipping?
After pouring simmered heavy cream over 2 oz of chopped semi-sweet chocolate and stirring until melted, the mixture must refrigerate with plastic wrap pressed against its surface for at least two hours. This firms up the ganache so it can be whipped into soft peaks.
How ripe should the peaches be for the best sauté result?
I sauté 3 large sliced peaches in 1 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for about five minutes until soft. Ripe peaches release more juice and caramelize better in that short window; very firm peaches may need an extra minute or two.
