Cream Cheese Chocolate Ganache

We love this chocolate cream cheese ganache because it is not as sweet as say, a traditional buttercream frosting. We love dessert around here but, we are into low sugar desserts. This ganache is sweet, but also has a slight tang from the cream cheese, creating the perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients:

Heavy whipping cream Chocolate chips Cream cheese

Step by step Instructions

Put the chocolate chips in a small heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan or microwave safe container until hot (140°-150°F). Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 3-4 minutes.

Stir the chocolate chips until completely smooth and all the chocolate chips are melted.

With an electric hand beater on medium speed beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

Add a couple tablespoons of the melted chocolate and beat on low speed until combined, scrape down the bowl. Repeat the process 1-2 more times.

Add the rest of the melted chocolate and beat until combined and smooth. Use immediately if you want a thinner pourable ganache. Or cover and refrigerate until completely chilled (2-4 hours).

To make whipped ganache frosting beat on medium high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until fluffy and lightened in color. Use immediately for frosting or piping.
