Are you using Alton Brown's recipe? Is it still kinda warm/liquidy?
I recently used his recipe and had to put it in the fridge awhile to cool down and set up, then whipped for about 2 minutes at a pretty high speed.

I always have to either refridgerate mine or put it over and ice bath to get it to firm up to the right consistancy. If I don't it's always too runny. And it takes a little bit in the KA, I always stop and re-chill the bowl to be sure it is cold enough.

Well it depends, i have made it two ways, if you make a light ganache where its more alot more cream than chocolate, i end up chilling it, and the when i mix it, it turns into a chocolate whipped cream, just slightly thicker, richer. If i make it like regular ganache, equal parts cream and chocolate, it come out like a thick chocolate frosting. Hope this helps icon_smile.gif
