Ganache under fondant

Hi, i am wanting to try using ganache under my sugarpaste. I was just wondering how long does ganache last before it goes bad without being stored in the fridge. Just confused on the safety with it being made with cream.

Thanks!!

Hi Janine!

As a chef I’d recommend looking at food safety and hygeine standards in your country. Usually items containing dairy in them can be kept for 3 to 5 days in the fridge, and a bit longer if you put it straight into the freezer well wrapped in a sealed container. To be safe it would be a good idea if you googled how long you could store products containing dairy and eggs for after baking.

Refrigeration dries cake out though so I would recommend freezing it if you wont be eating it immediately.
