DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE FROSTING RECIPE

Dark chocolate ganache is a basic and easy to make icing recipe. Also this is my favorite icing for cakes and cup cakes. I don't like buttercream icing for my cakes and cupcakes. I mostly use whipped cream or chocolate ganache to decorate my cakes. They are pretty simple to make also very rich in taste.I have already shared chocolate ganache recipe in my rich chocolate cake.it was shiny and glossy ganache recipe. But this chocolate frosting can handle very easily. I used milk chocolate to make this recipe. You can also use dark chocolate.

I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.
