Saffron ganache

Saffron may not be an easy spice to work with in confectionery. Yet in this ganache it lifts the chocolate flavour with nice sweet, floral and spicy notes. We prefer to add butter to this ganache to slightly tone down the intensity of the flavours to create a sensational mouthfeel.
