Low Carb Chocolate Ganache (For Truffles or Sauce)

From Laura Dolson, Your Guide to Low Carb Diets. Traditionally, ganache is made with half chocolate and half cream. However, the consistency depends a lot upon the chocolate and the sweetener, especially when using unsweetened chocolate. This sugar free low carb chocolate ganache can be used to make truffles or a chocolate sauce, depending upon how much cream is in them. You can easily alter the amount.
