For the ganache:
Place the chocolate chips, instant espresso and butter in a medium sized heat proof bowl. Heat the cream until tiny bubbles begin to form. Pour over the ingredients in the bowl and let sit for a couple of minutes. Then begin stirring with a spatula starting with small circles in the center of the bowl and working outward until the melted and a homogeneous dark rich chocolatey brown.
