I need to make and transport a large order (within a very hot city) of mini chocolate tarts. Somehow even the 2:1 ratio (2 parts chocolate to 1 part cream) turns out to be a bit runny at room temperature. Would the addition of cornstarch help? Any inputs would be appreciated.

Try putting it in the fridge for 2-3 hours, and then beat it with a mixer when you pull it out.

Why not just cut back on the cream?  Because I am paranoid, I always use less cream than the recipes call for when making ganache, because I want it to be very firm when set.  If it gets too stiff, I just microwave it for a few minutes.
