In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream just to a simmer. Place the chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the hot cream over the chips. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes (do NOT stir or touch for the entire 5 minutes!)
¾ cup heavy cream, 1 cup chocolate chips
Starting in the center of the bowl, stir gently in circles, working your way to the outside of the bowl. The chocolate and cream will mix together like magic.
Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, and then pour over whatever you are coating.
Cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set the ganache. Store any remaining chocolate and use as frosting.
