Delicious! Oh my, words don't do justice. -
I use this recipe a lot if I want a chocolate coat on my cakes. It is very rich. Fortunately it's not overwhelmingly sweet like the fake "back of the box" Buttercream recipe: butter, 4 cups powdered sugar. This is a much better and more classic substitute. Caution: work fast with this frosting. It will stiffen when cool. That is the nature of whipped ganaches. -
This is SINFULLY DELICIOUS! I used this on a fresh strawberry cake and it was gone in seconds! Sooooo soooooo good!
