FOR FROSTING (chocolate ganache):
250 gr. Dark chocolate
1 cup of heavy cream (whipping cream)
2 tablespoons of butter
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, remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate and butter, stir until smooth.
Allow the ganache to cool slightly before dipping the top of the cupcakes in it. For a fluffy frosting, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.
