How to make this dessert more easily. Heat the cream to just below a simmer. Remove from heat, stir in coffee granules (omit the water). Pour hot cream over chocolate. Stir gently until melted. Chill in refrigerator covered with plastic wrap. Remove when cooled. Pour into a stand mixer and beat with the whisk attachment until light fluffy. I like to use a bit more chocolate - 8 ounces to 16 ounces cream. I have been doing this for years. Also, for the lightest but richest cake filling ever, make ganache (16 ounces of semisweet chocolate to 16 ounces heavy cream) and chill. Beat with the whisk in a stand mixer. I like to make a recipe of ganache, chill half whip for filling between cake layers - there is enough for 2 generous layers - and then use the room temperature ganache unwhipped to frost the outside of the cake. Decadence. )
