Easy Ganache

• 4 ounces heavy cream
• 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks chopped into small pieces

Directions

Heat the heavy cream in a small pot over medium heat. Bring the cream to a boil. The cream will expand and quickly boil over so you'll want to watch it carefully.

Place the chocolate chips in a heat safe bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Stir gently, until all the chocolate is melted and you have a shiny, smooth topping.

Cool the ganache for ten to fifteen minutes to a spreadable consistency.

Use the ganache to frost a cake or as a chocolate sauce for ice cream.
