I have always been under the impression that the same reciped for dark chocolate ganache should be the same. However, whenever I make milk or white chocolate ganache I have to alter the recipe and use less heavy cream. If I use the same recipe the ganache will not set up completely. I am able to do this by sight...however I woud really like to find a ratio that works for both the white and the milk. Has anyone had this same problem? Does anyone know the ratio for white and milk chocolate ganache???

Same here. I've had trouble but only with white. However, my tip is to add a little powdered sugar. Good luck.
