Time 25m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

6 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate (I use 72%, see NOTE below)
4 teaspoons sugar (optional)
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

Place chopped chocolate in a medium-sized bowl.
Heat heavy cream and sugar (if using) in a large heavy saucepan over med-hi heat until it simmers gently.
Immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir gently until the chocolate is mostly melted.
Let stand for 15mins to be sure all chocolate is melted.
Stir ganache gently until perfectly smooth, let cool.
Cover and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (it must be very cold or it will curdle when it's whipped; ganache can be made up to 4 days ahead).
When you're ready to assemble the cake (and NOT before), whip ganache until it's stiff enough to hold a nice shape and seems spreadable (Don't overwhip; overwhipped ganache looks granular, so watch carefully).
Spread whipped ganache immediately, as it will firm as it sits.
NOTE: if using 50-60% bittersweet chocolate, use 8 oz of chocolate and omit the sugar; if using 60-64% chocolate, use 7 oz of chocolate and omit sugar; if using 66-72% chocolate, use 6 oz and add the optional sugar to give the ganache a bit of'lift'.
If you're just using this as a filling, halve the recipe.
If you're glazing the cake with a chocolate glaze, chill the filled cake for at least 1 hour (up to 2 days) before glazing.

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups, enough for a 7-inch layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

Put chocolate and cream into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until the consistency of stiff cream cheese, 10 to 15 minutes. Whisk until fluffy and smooth.

Tips:

Use high-quality dark chocolate. This will ensure that your ganache is rich and flavorful.
Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up light and fluffy.
Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help it to hold its shape when it is combined with the chocolate.
Add the chocolate to the whipped cream in three additions. This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
Stir the ganache until it is smooth and glossy. This will help to ensure that it is well combined.
Chill the ganache for at least 4 hours before using it. This will help it to set and firm up.
Use the ganache to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts. It can also be used as a filling or dip.

Conclusion:

Whipped ganache frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to decorate a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its rich and creamy flavor, whipped ganache frosting is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
