Chocolate Ganache with Peanut & Caramel Ice Cream

This challenge was an EPIC FAIL but I still have to blog about it. It is the type of recipe I probably wont try again for a while too. It was a lot of effort so 'little' reward. OK so first thing was the ice cream...in terms of making the actual mixture to be churned, it was not very difficult and it was really tasty! I totally forgot that the the tubs for the churner need to be in the freezer for at least 12 hours prior to using it so that might have affected how the ice cream churned. However, one batch did turn out perfect.





Ganache, that turned out well. I'm a bit of a veteran at making ganache so that was easy. Plus, as long as you follow the recipe, its pretty hard to fail.



OK so this is the epic fail part...HONEYCOMB! Tried it twice and both times it was an EPIC FAIL. Rather than a crunchy honeycomb, it was more like a toffee. I don't know what happened exactly, because I did follow the instructions but my honeycomb just didn't bubble.



Anyways, it was a pretty said master chef challenge. I have posted pics anyways because some parts did work out really well. My next challenge may be delayed as I will be at Perisher this week and Melbourne for the week. I guess it will be another double challenge!!
