Chocolate Ganache...which is what you will be making when you take out the shortening and use cream instead. Chocolate Ganache may be the best thing you could ever want to make and eat!!!
For Ganache:
Place a bag of chocolate chips (12oz by weight) into a metal bowl.
Bring 8oz (1 cup) of cream to a boil.
Pour the hot cream into the bowl of chips and blend with a whisk until smooth.
The more it cools the thicker it will get. Glaze your mocha when the ganache is cool enough to not melt the torte. You may want to do it in steps...glaze a layer...re-freeze...glaze another layer...re-freeze, etc.
