I was searching the site for a white chocolate ganache filling, and couldn’t find what I was looking for. So I used Laurinda’s Whipped Chocolate Ganache recipe and altered it to my needs. It worked great! These are essentially her ingredients and directions. I want to make sure I give credit where credit is due.
This recipe may be halved or doubled, depending on how much is needed. I found a 1/2 recipe perfect to fill a 10″ cake with 3 tortes.

Is white chocolate used? I'm not sure I've seen semi-sweet white chocolate. Thanks.
can this be used to fill wedding cake layers?
I think she is referring to Laurinda's chocolate ganache recipe and substituting white chocolate for semi sweet. Not 100% sure but that is how I read it
