Ganache Icing
INGREDIENTS
2 cups heavy cream
3 packages (16 ounces each) semi sweet chocolate chips

1 Microwave cream on high until bubbly, about 4 minutes.
2 Pour cream over chocolate in a medium bowl. Let stand 1 minute. Whisk
slowly until all chocolate is melted and mixture is very glossy. Pour over
cake while still warm.
3 If mixture gets too thick, warm it briefly in the microwave. If a more
mousse-like consistency is desired, chill mixture, then whip with hand
mixer until light and fluffy.
