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!
