Chocolate Ganache

March 3, 2018 By Your Allergy Chefs

free from gluten and the top 8 food allergens

Chocolate ganache is the divine blending of pure chocolate and cream. Oftentimes it includes, butter, liqueur or other flavorings. Today, there are many high quality vegan and allergy friendly chocolates on the market that are bittersweet, semisweet or dark.

It’s definitely worth paying a little more for good quality chocolate, also called couverture…sweet chocolate containing no added fats other than natural cocoa butter. The problem is, many chocolate manufacturers process in facilities that handle one or more of the top allergens, such as milk, tree nuts, peanuts and/or soy. This doesn’t work if you have an allergy to one of those.

We made this ganache using Enjoy Life’s Mini Chips. Since Enjoy Life has a dedicated facility, there are no worries of cross contact.

One ganache for so many desserts…

Mole Nachos Especiales

free from gluten and the top 8 food allergens

These Molé Nachos Especiales are classic fiesta food, and a delicious game day, or any day, appetizer!

Oftentimes, people’s experience with molé comes from a commercially prepared product loaded with oil and overly sweet. Even if you find one you like, it isn’t in the same league as the real thing done from scratch.

When molé is made from scratch, no matter what regional version you’re tasting, the sauce will offer a complexity that is spun into harmony with rehydrated chiles, nuts and seeds, corn and sometimes chocolate.

Seriously, these Molé Nachos Especiales are not only allergy-friendly, but love at first bite!

Hooked on Mole

We are hooked on molé!

Each region in Mexico has it’s own slant on specific ingredients and methods. These sauces can be red, black, green or yellow. Molé poblano from the town of Puebla is probably the most famous.

When it’s made from scratch, no matter what regional version you’re tasting, the sauce offers a complexity that is spun into harmony with rehydrated chiles, nuts and seeds, corn and sometimes chocolate.

We’ve omitted peanuts, tree nuts and sesame seeds to equal “allergy-friendly” with the same great taste!

There’s no better way to warm up on a cold winter’s day or to enjoy a moment of mindfulness than by sipping a mug of hot chocolate.
