"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Ingredients:  
2 c. bittersweet chocolate chips
1 c. heavy cream
Directions:
Directions:
Pour the heavy whipping cream into a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Make sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn't bubble over in the microwave.
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Start whisking slowly in the middle of the bowl, and continue whisking in one direction until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes before using on a dessert. It will thicken as it cools.

For a thinner, more pourable ganache coating simply reduce the amount of chocolate by half.

You can also add a teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso granules when melting the chocolate to add a deeper flavor.
