Chocolate Ganache

1 8 oz Package of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

3/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Place chocolate chips in a medium bowl, and set aside.  In a large saucepan, heat whipping cream just to boiling. (Do not boil) Remove from  heat and pour over chocolate chips. Use a wire whisk and stir until chocolate is melted.

*For Whipped Ganache: Cover and refrigerate until chilled.  When ready to use, genly whip until thickened.

**Ganache can be used as a filling if allowed to thicken (Chocolate Lava Cake), or poured over baked goods as a glaze.  We use it as an ice cream topping.  Keep in an airtight container in your refrigerator and when needed, spoon out the desired amount into a microwavable bowl.  Heat for 30 seconds until warm and smooth and pour over Vanilla Ice Cream.
