I find, if you make a stiff ganache - mostly chocolate, but with a good dash of cream too, and some butter to make a shiny surface for the chocolate, then you have something which will be firm when chilled, and still firm at room temperature when fully set, but will cut very easily without cracking at all! :)Charleshttp://fiveeurofood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315882034135499305.post-73010455746831779802012-05-22T19:24:26.562+01:002012-05-22T19:24:26.562+01:00I made quite a lot of them last summer at work and...I made quite a lot of them last summer at work and I found freezing it first then made it easy to achieve perfectly sliced pieces!
