I don't have a guitar. Would it be possible to pipe this into shells?

lironp,
Finally got my eGullet membership squared up, Google kept putting the emails in the spam folder :-P
I was hoping you could send it to me as well?
Much obliged,
Tim

Absolutely, a mousse ganache would just be relatively thicker than the base ganache that made it, but lighter once set. It should be pipable without difficulty, in fact, I'm sure that's how they make several truffles, just instead of piping them in shells, they pipe out rounds to coat in chocolate. Pleasant in a shell, for sure. Even without a guitar, give making it a try, just try putting on a chocolate "foot", then flip it and cut with a knife dipped in warm water, then wiped dry between cuts. You can get great results, it just takes longer :-)

In the course we didn't have time to let this set, so we actually piped the ganache into rosettes.
After now making this twice at home, I have 2 tips:
Work very quickly to spread the filling after whipping, it hardens very quickly.
Refrigerate before cutting with a guitar (or knife), which is what the Chef told us we would have to do although I had to see it to believe it!
Could anyone else reading this thread and who wants the recipe please PM me with the request, I have completely lost track of who I have sent the recipe to...

This is my next project after Mother's Day. I was daydreaming about it this AM :)
Liron, why would you need to refrigerate the slab if it hardens quickly? I think I'm missing something...

It hardens quickly, but the end result isn't as firm as a ganache- when I cut through it with the guitar without cooling it, the corners got squished

Ahhh, so the difficulty in cutting is to time the right stage of firmness? Too soft - corners squish; too firm - corners break....?
