The Mini Chocolate- Strawberry

Cupcakes, This recipe isn't out of

a cookbook or another site for that

matter, I came up with the recipe

myself; This recipe is special to me

, because it was a recipe I made for

my daughter to take to her class and

share with her class mates.

GANACHE

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh

strawberries

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

7 oz. white chocolate, very finely

chopped

1. Stir chopped strawberries into

cream. Cover and refrigerate at

least 8 hours or overnight.

2.Strain cream, pressing gently

on strawberry to release as much

liquid as possible; Place white

chocolate in medium bowl. bring

cream to a simmer in small saucepan

over medium heat; immediately pour

over white chocolate. Stir until

completely melted and smooth. Cool;

cover and refrigerate at least 4

hours. (Ganache can be made 2 days

ahead)

3.Remove ganache from refrigerator.

Check consistency: If it’s smooth

and creamy, it can be used right

away. If too fluid or too soft to

spread without dripping, stir

vigorously with a rubber spatula

for a few seconds (ganache will remain soft) and return to

refrigerator for a few minutes to

stiffen slightly. Spread over

cupcakes; garnish with strawberry.
