Snarkybaker's Blender Ganache last edited on 1/24/10
Posted by CakeMakar I love this recipe so much I asked Snarkybaker's permission to post it. It's just what you want from a chocolate icing - rich, smooth, super chocolate flavor. I've posted the directions as they were given to me, but I've used it directly after making it. You can refrigerate it if you're trying to thicken it up or storing it. It's perfect for making those drippy chocolate topped cakes. I've made it endless times, and it's always loved by everyone. Thanks for the recipe, Snarkybaker!

Posted by Ladyfish74 After much trial and error and following other recipes with little success, I finally figured out a recipe for white chocolate ganache' frosting that works every time. This is not for poured ganache' , although you could probably use it that way before it sets, this is for white ganache' to use as a frosting either under fondant or alone. Ingredients 1. 3 cups of white chocolate chips (either Hershey's, Nestle's, or the larger candy melts) DO NOT SUBSTITUTE WITH ALMOND BARK. This is a big mistake....I know..I tried it.
