Creme a la Carte Marc de Champagne is a white chocolate ganache composed of 60% pre-tempered white chocolate, 22% cream and a dash of fine Marc de Champagne liqueur, giving it a long shelf life and a warming, alcoholic taste.

With a rich, creamy and smooth taste and a silky mouth feel, it's an excellent bonbon filling. It also makes the ideal carrier for crunchy inclusions such as nuts bresilienne, ground coffee, biscuit balls and pailleté feuilletine. 

This excellent neutral, ready-made ganache is made from a base of white chocolate, cream, sugar and Marc de Champagne. It can be scooped cold or heated slightly (max 35°c) to make it easier to pipe.
