White Chocolate Ganache Frosting
By: JamesDean'sGirl
Sep 9, 2003
This is rich and super good
but it won't really produce a lofty mantle that regular frostings do.
2 cups, about
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
Directions
1
In a small, heavy saucepan, heat the cream just until it starts to simmer.2
Add the white chocolate, shaking the pan gently to immerse it into the cream, then add the butter.3
Let the mixture stand for 1 minute, then beat with a wire whisk until the chocolate and butter dissolve and the mixture is smooth.4
Refrigerate until mixture is cold, then whip with a wire whisk again until fluffy.5
Use frosting as desired; refrigerate your frosted goodies to firm up the frosting.

yuuuuummmmmmy! I varied this slightly as I was making the mars bar mud cake, so I melted a mars bar into the cream also, as I didn't have enough white chocolate. I started worry that it was too runny, but by the time I went to ice(you say frost) the cake, it was perfect consistency. I added about an extra 1/4 cup cream too when melting as per person belows omment, i didn't want mine too stiff. so i think that makes mine now a caramel icing!!

Very good, stiffer than I'm used to with frosting, but VERY nice flavor.

I reduced the butter in this by half, but i think it still worked wonderfully. I also whipped it with my electric beaters before using it.

I frosted the tops of two layers with this, and found the texture and taste excellent. Very easy, and whips up nicely with an electric mixer. I will use this recipe again. Thanks JamesDean'sGirl.
