Steps:
- Chop chocolate finely using a serrated knife, and place in a large heat-proof bowl.
- Bring cream to a boil over medium-high heat; pour directly over chopped chocolate. Allow to sit for 10 minutes; use a rubber spatula or a small whisk to gently stir chocolate and cream until totally combined.
- Chill ganache; stir every 5 minutes until mixture is cool to the touch. Remove bowl from refrigerator; whip ganache with a wire whisk until it just barely begins to hold its shape and is slightly lighter in color. Do not overwhip, or mixture will become grainy. Ganache will keep thickening after you stop whisking. Use immediately.
WHIPPED CHOCOLATE GANACHE FILLING (OR FROSTING)
This recipe makes a delicious and creamy ganache filling, that's light as air, not too-intense and will definitely bring you to chocolate heaven! It's also very easy to make, can be made ahead and you will NOT regret it. The amount of chocolate used depends on the type of chocolate. Recipe makes enough to fill and frost a 3-layer cake.

Steps:
- Place chopped chocolate in a medium-sized bowl.
- Heat heavy cream and sugar (if using) in a large heavy saucepan over med-hi heat until it simmers gently.
- Immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir gently until the chocolate is mostly melted.
- Let stand for 15mins to be sure all chocolate is melted.
- Stir ganache gently until perfectly smooth, let cool.
- Cover and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (it must be very cold or it will curdle when it's whipped; ganache can be made up to 4 days ahead).
- When you're ready to assemble the cake (and NOT before), whip ganache until it's stiff enough to hold a nice shape and seems spreadable (Don't overwhip; overwhipped ganache looks granular, so watch carefully).
- Spread whipped ganache immediately, as it will firm as it sits.
- NOTE: if using 50-60% bittersweet chocolate, use 8 oz of chocolate and omit the sugar; if using 60-64% chocolate, use 7 oz of chocolate and omit sugar; if using 66-72% chocolate, use 6 oz and add the optional sugar to give the ganache a bit of'lift'.
- If you're just using this as a filling, halve the recipe.
- If you're glazing the cake with a chocolate glaze, chill the filled cake for at least 1 hour (up to 2 days) before glazing.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your ganache. Choose a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao for a rich, decadent flavor.
- Heat the cream slowly: When heating the cream, do so over medium heat and stir constantly. This will prevent the cream from scalding or boiling, which can ruin the ganache.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in three additions: This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Let the ganache cool slightly before using: This will allow it to thicken and become more stable. If you are using the ganache as a filling, let it cool for at least 30 minutes before using. If you are using it as a frosting, let it cool for at least 1 hour.
- Whip the ganache until it reaches the desired consistency: For a light and fluffy ganache, whip it until it is doubled in volume and has soft peaks. For a thicker, more spreadable ganache, whip it until it is just stiff enough to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Whipped chocolate ganache is a delicious and versatile filling or frosting that can be used in a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a professional baker or a home cook, whipped chocolate ganache is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
