Ganache is a wonderful mixture of chocolate and cream, melted and whisked together until it is smooth. Warm ganache can be poured over a cake or torte for a smooth shiny glaze. If cooled to room temperature, ganache can be used as a filling or frosting, and chilled ganache can be used to make truffles or other candy.

1. In top of a double boiler, combine chocolate chips and whipping cream. Place pan over boiling water; allow chocolate to melt (the upper pan should not touch the water.)
