CC doesn't list one.

Also - does it need refrigeration?

For the whipped ganache all you have to do is make the regular ganache recipe and instead of letting it sit like you would ganache, stir it every so often so that it will become thick. Some people even let it cool to room temp and them put a hand mixer to it to whip it up. Hope this helps.

I think you let regular ganache cool, then whip it. Since it has cream in it, I would probably keep it in the fridge.

here you go:

Whipped Chocolate Ganache

This is the same fluffy frosting used on wedding cakes and other fancy cakes. Simple to prepare, you just chill and then whip the chocolate ganache as you would whip cream. This results in a frosting that is lighter in color than other chocolate frostings, and often with pretty streaks of dark chocolate.

Yield: 3 cups

3/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, or
1 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, or
1 3/4 cup miniature Hershey's Kisses
1 tablespoon liqueur of your choice (optional)

Place the cream in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil, stirring.

Meanwhile, place the chocolate in a large stainless steel mixing bowl. Remove the cream from the heat, and pour it over the chocolate. Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the liqueur if desired. Place the bowl, uncovered, in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 1 hour. Place the electric mixer beaters in the refrigerator to chill.

Remove the bowl and beaters from the refrigerator. Using the chilled beaters, whip the ganache on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the frosting lightens in color and triples in volume. Spread on the cake of your choice.

Store leftover frosting or cake in the refrigerator.

Thanks Leana. It doesn't have to be refrigerated though?

Sounds super yummy. Can't wait to try it.
The party is in the evening ..and hopefully this dreadful heat (98+) will have eased up so it will be okay. I don't want to get a bunch of people sick.

Why do you have to store this in the fridge. With regular ganache you can leave it out and its fine. I've only made it once and there was cream in it but it said that I could leave it out and it would be fine.
