Steps:
- Make an ice-water bath; set aside. Using a sharp, heavy serrated knife or a chocolate chopper, finely chop the chocolate. It's important to chop it finely so that it melts quickly. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Bring heavy cream just to a boil, and pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Place the bowl over ice-water bath, and use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture vigorously until it reaches the desired thickness or consistency, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.

Tips:
- Choose the right chocolate: For a rich, decadent ganache, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%. For a lighter, sweeter ganache, use white chocolate or semisweet chocolate.
- Use fresh cream: Fresh cream will give your ganache a smooth, velvety texture. Avoid using ultra-pasteurized cream, as it can make the ganache grainy.
- Heat the cream slowly: Do not boil the cream, as this will cause the chocolate to seize. Heat the cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Add the chocolate to the cream in small batches: This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Let the ganache cool slightly before using: This will allow the ganache to thicken and set. If you are using the ganache to frost a cake or cupcakes, let it cool to room temperature before spreading it on.
Conclusion:
White chocolate ganache and dark chocolate ganache are both delicious and versatile desserts that can be used in a variety of ways. White chocolate ganache is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and mousse. Dark chocolate ganache is a great choice for tarts, brownies, and ice cream. No matter which type of ganache you choose, you are sure to enjoy its rich, decadent flavor.
