Chocolate ganache #4WeeksChallenge. Let the chocolate thicken a bit before pouring, place your cake on a rack over parchment paper for easy clean up, and take your cake off the rack and put on to your serving plate before the ganache has set- otherwise it can attach to the rack and tear when you lift it off. Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil.
Cook the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring.
This will create a firm-textured ganache that can hold its shape.
Once your ganache has cooled, scoop little balls using a melon baller or small ice cream scoop.
