Whipped Chocolate Ganache

Ultra rich and chocolatey while still light and fluffy, this whipped chocolate ganache is my new go-to cake topping.

Equipment

  • stand mixer or hand mixer with whisk attachment

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a large bowl.
  • Heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until just starting to steam. Pour over the chopped chocolate and stir well until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth; this may take a few minutes.
  • Let the mixture cool, either on the counter for one hour or in the fridge for 30 minutes, being sure to stir the mixture every 10 minutes if you leave it in the fridge.
  • Once cooled, add in the salt and vanilla and stir well to combine. Then use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to whip the cream until it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
