    In medium glass bowl, place chocolate chips. In 2-cup glass liquid measuring cup, microwave cream uncovered on High 1 1/2 minutes, or until hot. Pour cream over chocolate chips; let stand 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Refrigerate about 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until thick.

    If necessary, heat chocolate mixture in microwave on Medium (50%) 20 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds until smooth and piping consistency. Place 1/2 cup chocolate mixture in decorating bag fitted with round tip with 1/8-inch opening. Insert tip into top center of 1 cake, about halfway down into cake. Gently squeeze decorating bag, pulling upward until cake swells slightly and filling comes to top. Repeat with remaining cakes.
