Super-Easy Chocolate Ganache Or Gelato

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or Kahlua)

You can make truffles by scooping out little melon-sized balls of ganache and roll in coconut, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts. To make cake icing, beat mixture until thick and creamy, to your desired spreading consistency.
