Making Chocolate GanacheTake equal amounts of whipping cream & chocolate chips (use the same weights (ounces). Melt the chcolate with the whipping cream & allow to cool at room temperature. The mixture will thicken when it cools. You can use the ganache as frosting for cakes & brownies.
Hope this helps you.
