chocolate ganache

1 package of semi sweet or dark chocolate chip pieces (12 oz)

1 1/2 cups of heavy cream heated, pour the hot cream over the chips that are in a bowl and let it sit for 5 mins, whisk until smooth,

you may reserve about 3/4 cups of ganache aside to pour over a chocolate cake to make it look like it has a melted top, this chocolate will set on a cool cake.

if not use all the melted chocolate that has been whisked smooth and let it cool in a fridge for 1 - 2 hours until set but not hard, 

blend in a mixer, the color of the chocolate will go from dark to almost a milk chocolate shade.

now that the ganache is set you may use it as a frosting or a filling of your cake.

Enjoy.

white chocolate frosting

6 ounces of white chocolate that you have tempered, melted slowly in the microwave, mine was done in half the power in 3 intervals of approximately 30 seconds each, this gave it a smooth texture,

3 sticks of unsalted butter at room temp that you will blend with a pinch of salt, mix in 1 tsp of vanilla extract once smoothed add your melted room temp white chocolate, blend, add your 3 cups of confectioners sugar and blend till thick, you may fridge frosting if not used right away, but bring to room temp prior to frosting.
