Hey everyone-

First off, the consistency is thick enough to pipe.

Add icing sugar if you want it sweeter. White chocolate is pretty sweet on its own.

Remove the vanilla bean and pour the heated portion of cream over the white chocolate and mix until smooth. Cool until the consistency of a thick sauce and add to the rest of the cream as you are mixing it.

Good luck!

You whipped it for too long. Whip to soft peaks, then add white chocolate ganache over the course of one minute. Make sure your ganache is not too hot, just soft enough to pour.

[gourmetproductions]

Yes it is most likely you whipped it too long. Whip cream to soft peaks and then add the white chocolate. It takes about 1 minute before it is ready for frosting.

[gourmetproductions]

It is a good one: Ganache should be soft and not hot. Whip cream to soft peaks, pour in ganache slowly as you you continue whipping to stiff peaks. Do not over whip, it happens quickly.

I used whipped cream instead of heavy cream, and follow all your recipe and method. After the cream and white choc mixture was totally chilled, It couldn't whip up. Is wrong to use the whipped cream?

@TheCookingdelight

You want to use a cream with the heaviest fat content which is why we recommend heavy whipping cream. Make sure you add the white chocolate slowly so it incorporates well.

hi chef!

i just want to clear out something... as I recall on the part2 video of "how to make a coconut cake"; you've sort of briefly mention icing sugar as one of the ingredients in white chocolate whipped cream frosting. how come u didn't include icing sugar for this ingredient?

[ejtjahjono]

I just have to say how confusing this video is. I tried doing exactly what you did in the video and nothing ever whipped up for me. It stayed soupy like liquidy cake batter. What you're saying in your video differs from what you're saying in the comments section. The video says to just whip up the white chocolate/heavy cream mixture once it's cooled, however your comments below say to 'add it to the cream slowly'. Say what? That was NOT in the video. So which is it?? Help!?!

Alright now I know what to use!

"Hey gay' ?!

Hi my question is you have mentioned you use 12 oz of White chocolate how much cream is that meant for or doesn't it matter and can you hand mix all this with a whisk

[Littlecutefishy]

Chef you've changed a lot

[hollymear]

Is the consistency thick/stable enough so that you can you use in pastry bag to decorate cake?

[LuwymyJRT]

Hey there. So after I remove the vanilla beans do I whip the cooled product or do I add it to a whipping cream and then only whip it. I'm trying to make this for my macarons so I wanna make sure it turns out yummy :) please reply. thanks!

[neenapee]
