Ganache:
* 8 ounces good dark chocolate, chopped (not below 60 percent cocoa, recommended: Valrhona)
* 8 ounces heavy cream, scalded
Completely melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Add the cream to a medium bowl and pour in the chocolate. Whisk the mixture very slowly creating a shiny, elastic emulsion.
