To speak of ganache is to speak of one of the fundamental pillars of professional pastry. This preparation, born from the alchemy between chocolate and a fatty substance, has evolved over the years to adapt to new trends, dietary needs and, of course, the creativity of chefs.
Today, we explore a vegan version that not only respects the expectations of flavour and texture, but also adds to the universe of possibilities for those seeking dairy-free or 100% vegetable-based alternatives.
We are committed to Valrhona’s Guanaja chocolate, famous for its intensity and deep aromatic profile, as the base for a ganache designed especially for piping. The challenge: to achieve an airy, stable and creamy texture, without resorting to traditional cream. This is where Sojawhip comes into play, a vegetable whipping protein that, thanks to its ability to emulsify and provide structure, makes it possible to obtain a perfectly pipeable ganache, ideal for decorating, filling or shaping haute patisserie creations.
The choice of technical sugars such as Dextrose and invert sugar is no coincidence: these ingredients contribute to modulating sweetness, improving conservation and optimizing the final texture, avoiding unwanted crystallizations and providing smoothness to the palate.

It borrows the iconic shell-like shape — that evocative mold […]

The solution lies in Gellan Gum, a thermo-reversible gelling agent that allows the cherry and raspberry jelly to remain stable even at […]
Some recipes are born from a special occasion and end up being much more than that. The Alballana Brioche is one of them. Created by Lorena Criollo, pastry chef and trainer at Valrhona, this brioche was conceived as a celebration of Easter 2026: a seasonal viennoiserie piece where technique and flavour merge in every […]
