Help!
I need a great recipe for chocolate ganache buttercream. A client requested it. Does anyone have one (tried & true) that they love? It would need to be able to be piped onto cupcakes!
Thanks in advance!

I personally just use the regular chocolate ganche recipe and let it sit out and stiffen up. I then use that to ice my cake. It's rich but delicious. Just use the highest quality chocolate you can afford. HTH

Ina Garten did a nice one. She made the ganache, let it cool to room temp, then with a mixer she added corn syrup, vanilla and butter. I don't have the exact recipe, but if you checked her recipes on foodtv i'm sure you could find it. I thought it looked really good.

I made white chocolate bc ganache before and it worked beautifully and I absolutely loved how smooth it made my cake! I did exactly what brincess said ... I just added the ganache to my typical BC recipe and it worked great!! I believe I did have less bc to ganache. Good luck!
