Hi there, I made a Ganache choc icing last weekend and didn't use it all so I put it in the fridge. How long would this last for? I want to make a cake this weekend and use it.

Hi there as long as it has been in the fridge it should be ok. Just warm it in the microwave very very gently till it is spreadable

if made with cream it goes off when the cream normally would (or if is contaminated)

i would say not to use it, as it is cream based, would you use cream that had been in the fridge since last weekend? May well be alright but if it doubt chuck it out is the best motto.

Thanks, I just hate to not use things, thought maybe the dark choc would preserve it a bit, but perhaps not.

you could use it in the actual cake and then bake it.

it will be ok, i have used week old whipped cream in potato bakes and cakes, the heat will kill any bugs, and the flavour should still be ok.

Oh just taste it! If it tastes okay, use it. That's what we do here and none of us is dead yet

if your cream was due to expire they day you made it, I wouldn't use it a week later. Freezing is the perfect solution for next time

and not all things that taste just fine are ok to eat.
