I just whipped up a half size batch for dinner for myself. This is the most green I have ever had on my plate! Love it! (Left out the raisins as I didn't have any)

Thanks everyone. I used an online template too. http://marvwoodhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/zwcok-maccir1-3p8.pdf. Made it heaps easier to know the size.

I used a white chocolate and raspberry ganache. I had such little faith that they were going to turn out, I never even thought to colour or flavour the shells! Will def plan it better next time.

Thanks Merlin. I was going to use this recipe

300g cream
300g of chopped dark chocolate


Add cream to bowl, 5 min 100 

When there is 1.30mins left on the timer add chopped chocolate, continue for the full 5 mins
Stand for 2 mins

Mix on speed 3 to 4   for 1 min
Makes  about 2 cup

Do you think it will it work the same if I use less cream?

I am doing a cake decorating course, and need to turn up on Thursday night with a stack of chocolate ganache.

 I have made the one out of the EDC before, numerous times, successfully. But I am far from an expert at these sort of things.

My cake teacher said the normal ratio for ganache is 2 parts chocolate: 1 part cream (pure cream, not thickened).

The EDC is almost 1:1 ratio, and I used thickened cream.

Can anyone explain what the difference between 'traditional' ganache and thermomx ganache would be?

I am reluctant to use 1kg of chocolate and 1 L of cream and have it not be right.

Any tips/hints?

Thanks

Finally decided to stop lurking...

Have had my thermomix since November last year.

I am really enjoying trying new things, preparing healthier food, and baking for my 4 yr old and 2 yr old ID twins!

I started a blog to keep myself motivated, http://veesthermomix.blogspot.com.au/

I have a few friends with thermomix's so it is a good way to record and share recipes and ideas and trials and failures!
