How to Make Chocolate Ganache Frosting

  1. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
  2. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  3. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips and let stand for 5 minutes.
  4. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy. If the ganache is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of cream at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Let cool slightly before frosting your cake. For best results, frost the cake once the ganache has cooled to a spreadable consistency.
  6. Refrigerate leftover frosting for later use.
