Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
16 ounces coarsely chopped dark chocolate
5 drops concentrated Cherry flavored extract
Directions:
Directions:
1) Microwave the whipping cream a large microwave-safe bowl for 3 minutes (bowl should be twice the volume of the cream to avoid boiling over).
2) While whipping cream is in the microwave, coarsely chop chocolate and place in a large food processor or blender.
3) Pour the heated whipping cream over the chocolate and allow it to sit for 2 minutes. At the end of the 2 minutes, add in the concentrated extract then pulse or blend the mixture until there are no chunks of chocolate left.
4) Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature (about 2 hours). Pour over cake for a thin icing, or blend for about 5 minutes with a hand mixer for a thicker frosting.
5) If the icing does not thicken enough to use as a frosting after 5 minutes of mixing, place in the fridge for about 20 minutes. When you take the bowl out of the fridge, mix for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable.

Use any of your favorite extracts to flavor this ganache filling. This is a nice frosting for the inside of a cake and holds up well in layered cakes.
