whipped chocolate ganache
Whipped chocolate ganache is light, fluffy and incredibly intense. We use dark chocolate and heavy cream to make a luxurious ganache, then whip it until creamy and airy. Use it to frost cupcakes, spread between layer cakes, or pipe decoratively on desserts!

Ingredients
- 12 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 3/4 cups (14 oz) heavy cream
Instructions
- Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl.
- Warm heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium- low heat. Heat until cream just begins to steam on the surface and small bubbles form at the edges. Pour over chocolate and let sit 2- 3 minutes.
- Use a whisk to slowly stir until smooth and combined. Let sit at room temperature for 2- 3 hours to set, or chill in the fridge for about 45 minutes. It should be the consistency of thick peanut butter.
- When ready to use the frosting, whip the ganache. Use a handheld mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, to whip the ganache until fluffy and lightened in color, about 2 minutes. Don’t overwhip, or ganache will curdle.
- Spread over cooled cake, or transfer to a piping bag for a decorative touch. Use right away. Ganache will begin to stiffen after being whipped, so use it quickly.
