Does chocolate ganache harden?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes, this is ganache. Ganache kind of hardens, but is still soft. I believe it is exactly what you are looking for. Truffles (the ones rolled in cocoa powder) are made from ganache. I hope that knowing that helps. They are soft enough to melt against your skin or on your tongue, but hard enough to keep shape.
