March has been a month of many birthdays so I've been auditioning a few icing recipes. This is a Whipped Salted Caramel Ganache Icing I tried and love. It starts as an angsty, moody, emo ganache (I hear You Oughta Know),
it morphs into Fun! Happy! Wholesome! icing. The music changes to the Reading Rainbow theme song and I feel like a kid when I spoon this.
But wait! Piping it all pretty-like and sprinkling fleur de sel on top adds a grown up touch to the finished ensemble. Now I hear I Gotta Feeling. More for older folks but young ones can still enjoy the good dance beat just like they can still enjoy this treat.
Notes and Recipes
- this icing is a hybrid of two recipes
Caramel with Salt
- omit the sour cream
- add an additional 1 C whipping cream to the caramel
Whipped Caramel Ganache
- use salted caramel (recipe above) to melt the chocolate
