Step 1

Add heavy cream and butter to a small saucepan and heat on low heat until the butter has melted and the cream is warmed throughout.

Step 2

Add chocolate chips to a large glass or nonreactive bowl. Pour the warmed cream and butter mixture over the chocolate chips. Add in the brewed coffee and a pinch of salt. Allow to stand for about 3-5 minutes to soften the chocolate chips completely.

Step 3

Stir briskly to combine and until smooth.

Step 4

Allow to cool slightly. Ganache will easily pour over cake or other item.

Step 5

Once cooled, ganache filling can be spread between layers of cakes, piped as filling into pastries, or sandwiched between cookies, etc.

Step 6

Once cooled, use an electric mixer or a wire whisk, whip ganache to incorporate air and increase the volume of the ganache. Spread on cakes or other pastries as you would frosting.
