Pour the hot
cream over the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is melted and the
mixture is smooth. Mix in the Amaretto and whisk again until

Cake Assembly:
Center a crepe on
a serving plate. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the crepe with
chocolate ganache while it is soft (if ganache begins to stiffen, gently heat it in the microwave at 20 second intervals).
Spread a thin layer of whipped filling over the ganache and top it with another crepe.
Repeat the previous steps until all the crepes are used.
Use the remaining
chocolate ganache to frost the cake (heat the mixture if necessary).
Set the cake aside and keep it at room temperature until it sets.
Optional: Use the
remaining ganache to roll into truffles and chill them in fridge. Roll the truffles in
cocoa powder and use as a decorative topping for the cake.
