We love this chocolate cream cheese ganache because it is not as sweet as say, a traditional buttercream frosting. It is sweet, but also has a slight tang from the cream cheese, creating the perfect balance of flavors.
Step 1: Put the chocolate chips in a small heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan or microwave safe container until hot (140°-150°F). Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Add a couple tablespoons of the melted chocolate and beat on low speed until combined, scrape down the bowl. Repeat the process 1-2 more times.
Step 5: Add the rest of the melted chocolate and beat until combined and smooth. Use immediately if you want a thinner pourable ganache. Or cover and refrigerate until completely chilled (2-4 hours).
