Chocolate Ganache Frosting

When I first tried this recipe I thought I'd found the secret to perfect restaurant frostings.  It's beautiful!  And I found out you can whip any ganache into a frosting.  I haven't tried it yet but plan to.  A white chocolate peppermint ganache frosting would be soo good!

Chocolate Frosting
1 3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup dark corn syrup
16 oz. semisweet chocolate chips

Place cream and syrup in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the cream mixture into the chocolate, whisking until smooth. Let cool and then transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat for about 4 minutes (I remember mixing a lot longer), until fluffy. Makes enough to frost a two layer cake.
