Steps

  • 1
    White Chocolate Ganache Frosting: Pour chopped white chocolate, 1/4 cup creamer, and heavy whipping cream into a microwave-safe bowl.

    Heat on High for 1 minute. Remove and fold 10 times.

    Let sit for 3 minutes, then fold 10 more times.
  • 4
    Return to microwave and heat for 30 seconds.
  • 5
    Let bowl sit in microwave for 3 minutes. Remove and stir slowly until melted.
  • 6
    If needed, heat for 10-second increments, stirring after each, until melted.
  • 7
    Press a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the white chocolate ganache and allow it to cool at room temperature for 3 hours. Meanwhile, bake cakes.
  • 8
    Cakes: Preheat oven to 350º F. Spray 14 mini Mason jars with baking spray. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

    Set jars on a baking sheet. Place on centre rack in oven then carefully pour boiling water into pan, filling it about 3/4- inch high. Do not spill water into jars.

  • 13
    Remove jars from water and set on a cooling rack. Allow cakes to cool completely.
  • 14
    Cut the domed tops off each cake. Peel plastic wrap off the white chocolate ganache.
