This amazing Whipped Ganache Frosting is nothing more than chocolate and cream. Add some air, and it’s a beautiful marriage that makes an amazing whipped frosting.
Whipped Ganache Frosting
I love a simple frosting, and I don’t think that this frosting could get any easier.
It’s just two ingredients and little bit of waiting, but that’s it. Simple.
I was a bit nervous of the consistency of the ganache when I pulled my container out of the fridge. It has the consistency of melted ice cream. It tasted great, but it wasn’t thick like what you would think of for a traditional ganache. If you are familiar with chocolate sauces or truffles, you know that it thickens up in the fridge to a more solid state. This was just liquid.
The good news is that it whipped up great! It resulted in a light and fluffy chocolate whipped cream that tasted amazing!
