Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache - 2 Ways

Ina Garten's 

8 oz bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp instant coffee granules

To make the ganache, place the chocolate, heavy cream and instant coffee granules in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Melt the chocolate until it's just melted and stir it until it's smooth.
For whipped ganache, allow the ganache to cool completely and then put it in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and mix on high speed until it is a very light (I think she let it go for 10 minutes!)

blogger commented that it was only good after adding confectioners sugar. Another said she used semi sweet chocolate instead.
