I had plans to bake an awesome cake for my wedding anniversary, and so inspected my refrigerator for my available ingredients. With cream and white chocolate lying around, I happily proceeded to make ganache sauce... Later, I was shocked to realize that instead of planning an icing for my cake, I had settled for an sauce :/ sigh..... So, as I started browsing around, I had, understood that this ganache sauce can be whipped up to form an icing. OMG, that was sooo close, an blessing in disguise, actually :)
Ganache, an sauce is used as sinful filling in truffles. Dark chocolate and cream are usually added in 2:1 ratio, but milk and white chocolate can alternatively used too. It is an myth to refer white chocolate as an, 'chocolate' because they have an lot of cocoa butter content in them than the actual cocoa iself.

Care should be taken that ganache should be an smooth pudding-like (ie, an thick sauce) before whipping, if they harden after refrigeration, they must be brought under room temperature till they become saucy. Alternatively overwhipping might also result in grainy textured output. So, whipping till they increase in volume and become fluffier might be suggested.
