• place the chocolate into a medium bowl. heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. when the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. stir in the if desired.
• allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. start at the center of the cake and work outward. for a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.
