Ingredients
1 can (300 ml) table cream (creme de leite)
2 large bars (approx. 180g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 large bars (approx. 180g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients in the baking aisle of any major Canadian supermarket. Look for 'table cream' (often found near condensed milk or in the Latin American aisle) and high-quality bittersweet chocolate bars in the confectionery section. As a substitute for Brazilian-style table cream, you may use a high-fat heavy cream or thick whipping cream, though the texture will be slightly richer.
Preparation method
- Heat the canned table cream in a bain-marie over low heat.
- Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate to the warmed cream.
- Stir continuously until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
- Apply immediately as a filling or pour over your cake as a glaze.
Observations
This simple ganache is a staple in Brazilian home baking, prized for its effortless preparation and rich profile. By combining just two essential ingredients, you achieve a luscious, velvety consistency that works beautifully as both a decadent cake filling and a smooth topping.
It is an ideal go-to recipe for elevating any cake, delivering a sophisticated finish that appeals to everyone. The depth of the bittersweet chocolate, balanced by the creaminess of the dairy, makes this a must-have technique for any kitchen repertoire.
