Chocolate Ganache Frosting

This frosting works great in a piping bag and it’s also fun to spread using an offset spatula. The creaminess is almost indescribable. Are you understanding how in love I am?

To achieve a buttercream consistency, wait until the frosting has completely cooled to room temperature and whip the ganache with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.

Let the ganache sit in the fridge for up to an hour for an even thicker frosting.

If you are looking for a thinner frosting with more of a glaze consistency, consider making plain chocolate ganache instead. Try this recipe with white chocolate for an entirely different, yet still creamy and delicious flavor.
