How long is fresh ganache good for?

[foodsmith]

i made ganache the other night, just a combo of fresh whipped cream (non homogonized heavy cream) and melted (tempered) chocolate.

I have it currently in a plastic pastry bag, with saran wrap sealing both ends and in the fridge. Tonight will be 48 hours since I made it. Is it good for at least 72 hours? The cream was just bought and the expiration was for the 22nd of Jan, so I have to think that its freshness should not be a factor but I'm not sure what happens when you mix in warm melted chocolate to the whipped cream.

Thoughts?

Well, if you think about how long you would keep a cake iced with ganache or truffles ( not that those things can survive in my house for very long ) I think you've got a few days leeway. It might not be at it's best bit I don't think it will hurt anyone.

If I have leftover, I freeze mine for future use. Thaws beautifully.

Yup! Freeze it! It will outlast your resistance for it.

I should think it would taste just as good, guess I'll find out tonight. After all, genache has to set in the first place, it's not like fresh whipped cream.
