You've got to try this...

Whipped Ganache

7 oz. chocolate, chopped
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Heat the cream on medium heat until barely boiling. Pour over the chocolate and let stand 1 minute. Add the vanilla and whisk until completely combined. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

Whip the ganache with an electric mixer until light, fluffy and spreadable.

I used 60% chocolate, and it was very dark. I'd probably mix some semi sweet with it next time so it's a little sweeter. It's fantastic as a frosting, cupcake filling, or by the spoonful, as I'm doing now. I think it would make good filling for homemade oreos as well, if you want something super rich. Enjoy!
