I love gnache! I just made this with orange flavored liqueur and it was divine! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome & easy! I doubled the recipe so I could make obscenely huge piles of this stuff on my chocolate cupcakes. I used boxed cake…no one even cared because the frosting was so good.
I made it the night before, used a hand mixer to mix it, scooped it into a gallon sized zip bag, put it in the fridge over night and let it sit 30 minutes before snipping the corner and icing my cupcakes.
Thanks!!!!

I made up a batch of chocolate ganache this weekend and it worked wonderfully as a glaze for some chocolate cupcakes. But, I was hoping to use it as more of a frosting. It never set up enough to hold any shape.
Any idea what I did wrong? I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and left the ganache in the fridge overnight (about 18 hours total.)
The cupcakes were delicious with the glaze and I would recommend this even if I couldn’t use it as a frosting!

Jeseelst: I’m not sure what happened. I have made this recipe using chocolate chips before as well. Did you weigh the chocolate? Also you may want to decrease the amount of heavy cream next time by 1/4 cup to see if it sets up better. I’m so sorry to hear it didn’t work. I’ve never had any problems with it before and I used to decorate wedding cakes with it. Let me know if I can help answer any more questions.

I made this last weekend and then whipped it. It turned out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wonderful, and very simple. I put the chocolate into the cream on low because I didn’t have the counter space to chop finely, and it still worked beautifully. I put it on some vanilla buttermilk cupcakes to rave reviews. Then I put the leftovers on fruit and it was heavenly. Thank you!

I read your related blog post and was wondering what tip you used when you frosted with the whipped ganache?

Oh my goodness, this recipe is super easy and amazingly delicious! I made them today and it was all I could do to keep from drinking the ganache! Alice, thank you so much for your recipe! Your directions were so easy to follow and it turned out perfectly!

LOOOVE this recipe.
I like it when my chocolate frosting is more on the chocolate-y side than sweet, which is exactly how this turns out to be. I also love how easy it is to make & how versatile it is.

i noticed that blog post has 12oz of chocolate listed instead of 8oz – which one is right? i’m sure both are delicious
