ganachish- the tasty hash chocolate!

[cooked cook]

I wanted to make a quick, easy, delicious cannbis treat that has minimum cannabis flavor, and maximum cannabis effect.

I decided to adapt an old culinary classic- chocolate ganache.

Ganache [gahn-AHSH] is a French word for a mixture of chocolate and heavy cream, used as an icing or filling for pastries, filled chocolates, chocolate truffles, and other desserts. Its origins date to around 1850, possibly invented in Switzerland or in France.

Not wanting it to taste like a bale o hay, I decided to use hash in this one.
in this case, some tasty C99 dry sift hash.

Ganache + hashish = GANACHISH!

Here's what you'll need:
(Clockwise, starting from upper left)



2 tsp. butter
1 oz. heavy cream
1 splash of liqueur (optional)
.25(quarter) cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
and last but not least...
1 gram high quality hash- dry sift or unpressed bubblehash

First, melt your butter in a small pan over low heat.
Next, add your hash.



Mix with a metal tablespoon to combine well.
Allow hash/butter mix to warm for a minute.
In go the liquids. Since I'm using liqueur, that goes first. In this case... in honor of our own Crazy Composer, I'm using mozart chocolate liqueur, made in Salzburg. The liqueur will not only add more flavor, but since THC is souble in fat and alcohol, it helps in that regard as well.
Mix liqueur and hash mixture well. Now in goes the cream, and stir stir stir.


Turn up the heat a little, and get the cream good and hot without boiling it. Remove from heat, and stir in chocolate chips. It won't look like it's going to combine, but keep stirring. once all the chocolate has melted, and the mixture is smoothe- IT'S DONE!

At this point... much like the regular ganache, it can be used many ways. While it's warm, it pours smoothely, and can be used to top cannabrownies
I like to pour it onto some lightly greased foil, and cool it in the fridge until it's set to a soft, chewy consistancy.



After that, it can be cut into pieces and eaten, or rolled into balls and coated with cocoa powder like truffles.

I hope you all give it a try, and enjoy it thoroughly.

I haven't even read the recipe yet and I want to try it!

I had some wonderful hash chocolate at the Wonders festival (thank you, you know who you are) and have been trying to figure out the recipe ever since.

Sweet Cooked, what kind of chocolate did you use? There's a spice store in my area that sells all kinds of quality chocolate. I'm always trying something new.

 

[cooked cook]

I'd imagine one could use just about any type of chocolate, based on their own tastes. I personally used good ol Nestle Semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Peace

Ganachish... yum!!!!

Ganachish... yum!!!!

Just wanted to show off some of the Ganachish I just made. Hope ya dont mind cooked cook.

Used the same recipe/same volume but used some creme of cacoa for my liqueur. I havent tried the cooled off chocolate yet but I ate about 3 tsps worth that was left in the saucepan. This stuff tastes great... theres only a slight marijuana taste. And its very easy to make and consume.

Hey, cool!
I'm glad I was able to finally write an understandable recipe , and glad you gave it a try and enjoyed it.
Don't worry, be hashy!

Nice recipe Cooked, hey tell me something. You being the chef you are might know the answer to this, got any Ideas on where I can find Pelugra Butter (higher dairy fat content then typical butter)?

 

[cooked cook]

Thanks HK. Yep, I'd bet that any of the gourmet markets that are popping up will carry that butter you're looking for. i'll PM you some market names.

Thanks Cooked Cook, I'll check out those names you sent. Hopefully we have something like them around my parts.

Tough call on that.

I specifically wanted to put together a recipe that didn't give me the "mouth fulla weed" taste, so I went with the hash on this one.
If I were to use weed on this, I'd probably use 3 grams of good bud,broken up, and simmer them for a while with the cream, and strain it out.
I don't think it'll be quite as potent or tasty as the hash recipe- but it's worth a try.


Another thing about this recipe- I scaled down the original ganache recipe so it would be sized to a gram of hash. The full recipe is even easier to make, as there is little to no measuring.

1 half pint of cream
1 sack o semi-sweet choco chips
1 Tbl butter
1 Tbl sugar
and any liqueur you might want to add.
follow instructions above

I've never made the full recipe with hash, but I've gotta think that would be for more like a quarter ounce of hash You know... the party batch!

Common flavor additions to the ganache are: espresso (really good- I'd use powdered instant espreso), Hazelnut, and raspberry.

Hashy baking!

Mmmmm next time I am going to use white chocolate and raspberries. I bet that would be delicious. My last batch is already gone. Didnt even last a week. I enjoyed every bit of it too. Both in terms of taste and potency.

 

[cooked cook]

hey Indo... glad ya liked it!
I know that white chocolate is made differently than regular chocolate, so I'm not sure how the proprtions will translate to a white choco recipe. Consult your local pastry chef. I can cook, but pastries aren't really my strongest area
might be worth a try though. does sound tasty

Like all canna-foods, ya gotta be careful not to overdo it.
I was having bit of a time with some back pain recently, and deceided to knock together a small batch to help with pain management. And besides... I had some hash oil I made with grain alcohol that didn't taste too good to smoke, but I figured that since it was made with a "food grade" solvent...why not try eating some?!?!?
I mixed it together, ate it up, and went about my day.... about an hour later, everything goes all In A Gadda Da Vida and lava lamps


I was hammered outa my skull for several hours.
It did ease up the back pain a bit though LOL

Maybe next I'll have to post up my "Freak Brothers Fritata"
Very tasty egg dish with weed for the wake n bake.
Peace

This was especially good drizzled over vanilla ice cream....It made a semi-hard shell. I used a little cognac hash tincture as well...Happy Sailing! You can form chocolate balls and coat the ganache balls in white chocolate as well.

What would you suggest on doing if you like a high marijuana flavor? What would you use as a resonable ratio chart?
