Chocolate Ganache + Cream Cheese Frosting = Heaven



Homemade Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting drizzled with Chocolate Ganache.


 Many of you have asked for the recipes I use for Chocolate Ganache and Cream Cheese Frosting, so I thought I would share my secrets.  Okay, they aren't really secrets, but it sounded good.  I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do!

Chocolate Ganache 

1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips

Heat cream in saucepan until it comes to a boil.  Remove from heat and pour over chocolate in a mixing bowl.  Stir to mix together.  You can pour the ganache of your cakes warm, or allow to cool slightly and spread like frosting.  Enjoy!


Cream Cheese Frosting 

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and light.  Add vanilla and mix well.  Slowly add sugar a little at a time and mix well in between additions.  Keep mixing until frosting is fluffy.  Frost your cakes and refrigerate.  Enjoy!
