Place chocolate and cream in a heat proof bowl. Set aside.

Place bowl over the simmering water and gently stir until chocolate melts and incorporates into the cream completely.

Notes
Alternatively, place cream and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat in short 20 second bursts until chocolate melts. Mix until well combined.
Another method is to heat cream until steaming and pour directly over chocolate chips. Mix until well combined.
For a non-dairy ganache, replace cream with one cup of full fat coconut milk from a can. Shake the can well before using.
When making ganache, use a metal spoon and glass bowl for best results.
