Heat cream on stove and bring to a boil, stirring continuously.
When it reaches a boil, add chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth. It will thicken up a little as you stir.
Remove from heat to let cool.
If making whipped chocolate ganache:
Place ganache in the refrigerator to let it cool through. You will also want to put your metal mixing bowl and beater in the refrigerator to chill.
Once cool, place the chocolate ganache in a cold mixing bowl and mix on high for about five minutes or until whipped to a nice thickness. Your dark chocolate ganache will now be a lighter brown. Use this whipped chocolate ganache for frosting or a filling.
