Whipped Ganache Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz. semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Instructions:

1. Place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate, making sure all of the chocolate is covered.
4. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
5. Using a spatula, gently stir the mixture until the chocolate and cream are fully combined.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the ganache has cooled and thickened.
7. Using an electric mixer, beat the cooled ganache on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes light and fluffy. Be careful not to overbeat the ganache, or it may become grainy.
8. Transfer the whipped ganache to a piping bag and use as desired.

Verdict and Serving Suggestions:

Whipped ganache is a rich and decadent addition to any dessert. It is perfect for frosting cakes, filling tarts, or piping onto cupcakes. The fluffy texture adds a lightness to the rich flavor of the chocolate. Be sure to use high quality chocolate for the best taste.
