Ganaches
The Ganache family in the formulator. What it covers, how many canonical recipes there are and what's guaranteed.
What it is
The Ganache family in the formulator groups together fillings based on a cream-chocolate emulsion, with variants with and without liqueur. It's the most mature family in the module.
What it covers
- Over a hundred canonical recipes reviewed by a chef: base variants, liqueur versions and combinations fine-tuned afterward.
- Only recipes with all their parameters within the type's range are delivered (score 100).
- Water activity (aw): when generating, the Formulator aims for 0.76 – 0.82; validation uses 0.78 – 0.86 as an indicative reference. Both are estimates: measure the aw of the finished product.
- Typical water range (%): defined by subtype and flavor.
How to invoke it
Sidebar → Filling formulator → the What filling do you want to create? scene: click the Ganache card. Since it's a single-type family (Ganache), the wizard selects the type and advances on its own to the next scene (flavor structure). Continue with flavors, weight and constraints as in Generate a filling. If one flavor and 1 kg are enough, that scene's Start with the classic shortcut takes you straight to picking the flavor.
What's guaranteed
- The recipe uses a controlled vocabulary (for example, UHT cream 35% fat always, instead of inconsistent variants).
- The result meets the physicochemical ranges signed off by a chef for the Ganache family.
- If your combination has flavor + liqueur (for example, raspberry + framboise), the engine will prefer a liqueur variant from the catalog and adapt it to your weight.
- If it can't converge on a valid recipe, the 12 credits are returned.
