Two-ingredient chocolate ganache recipe that whips up light and fluffy - IOL

You only need two ingredients to make a light and fluffy chocolate ganache.

When a cake needs a finishing touch, but you do not want to make a complicated frosting, chocolate ganache is a useful recipe to have on hand.

This two-ingredient version takes the familiar chocolate-and-cream combination a step further by chilling it before whipping.

The result is lighter and fluffier than traditional ganache, making it easy to spread over cakes, cupcakes and other desserts.

The key is to watch the ganache closely while whipping it.

Stop as soon as it becomes light and fluffy.

Continuing to beat it after this point can cause the texture to become grainy rather than smooth and spreadable.

If you are using a hand mixer, start at a lower speed and increase it as needed rather than immediately mixing at full speed.
