Has anyone tried coloring white chocolate ganache? If so, would you use regular food coloring or use the coloring for wafer chocolate?

Thanks

Because you have already added liquid in the form of cream, to the chocolate, using regular food color will work-depending on what color you are trying to achieve.

If you want a pastel color, any coloring product will work fine. To get a dark color, I would use something stronger like powdered or oil based.

If the chocolate should thicken (but it shouldn't) , a bit of solid shortening or paramount crystals will fix it right up.

Just the topic I was looking for! I was planning on coloring white ganache also tonight and wanted to know if took color well. I also wanted to know if the color will bleed. I plan to frost the cake white, but have colored borders, but was afraid of bleeding. Does anyone know if it'll bleed?? Thanks.

Assuiming it's not real chocolate, can you color white chocolate with paste? (Not ganache, but just straight?)
