Description
This strawberry ganache is a fruity take on white chocolate ganache! It’s smooth, pink, and perfect for filling cakes, topping cupcakes, or piping into macarons. Made with freeze-dried strawberries and cream, it whips beautifully and adds a natural berry flavor.
Ingredients
12 grams freeze dried strawberries
340 grams white chocolate chips
255 grams heavy cream
Instructions
1. Pulse freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor or blender until it is a fine powder. Set aside.
2. Microwave white chocolate chips in a large heatproof bowl for 30 seconds to soften, then add the strawberry powder.
3. Microwave heavy cream in a medium bowl for about 1.5 minutes until the edges simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 20 seconds. Then whisk until smooth and combined.
4. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap touching the surface and chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours. Once it reaches peanut butter consistency, it’s ready to use.
5. For whipped ganache, beat the chilled ganache on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Notes
Measure ingredients with a kitchen scale for accuracy.
To use as a drip: cool ganache to 90°F (32°C).
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let soften at room temp before using.
Whipped ganache can be re-whipped if deflated.
