What is Whipped Ganache?

Whipped Ganaches are one of my all time favourite frostings for cupcakes They are super light and airy yet smooth and creamy all at the same time. It’s not cloyingly sweet like typical buttercream and a lot more stable than plain whipped cream. A whipped ganache base is typically made by melting down cream along with some kind of chocolate (white, milk, dark etc.) and allowed to cool fully before whipping into a thick, pipeable consistency.

Whipped Ganache can come in many flavours and varieties, below are some of my all time favourite whipped ganache recipes!

9. Passionfruit White Chocolate Whipped Ganache

Due to the addition of fresh passionfruit puree, this Passionfruit White Chocolate Whipped Ganache is not quite as stable as the other whipped ganaches. It is incredibly flavourful but it tends to deflate and melt quite quickly at room temperature so move quick with this one!

10. Blackberry White Chocolate Whipped Ganache

Vanilla Cupcake on a wooden plate on top of a black wire rack. Purple Blackberry White Chocolate Whipped Ganache piped high on top with star nozzle. Dark background with red flowers and frozen blackberries as decoration.

This Blackberry White Chocolate Ganache packs a real punch with blackberry flavour. To get that really intense blackberry favour, we use freeze dried blackberry powder along with blackberry gin.

11. Mango White Chocolate Whipped Ganache

Similar to the passionfruit ganache, this Mango White Chocolate Whipped Ganache is slightly more soft than the other ganache recipes. As such, ensure you work quickly with this ganache whenever it’s out of the fridge.
