INGREDIENTS
  • Cooking Time: 8hrs.-overnight
  • Preparation Time: 15-20 minutes

  • chopped
DIRECTIONS
  1. 1. Stir chopped strawberries into cream. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  2. 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. 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.
