Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • Fresh Strawberries – 2 cups, ripe and juicy
  • White Chocolate Chips or Bars – 8 oz, high-quality
  • Heavy Cream – 1/2 cup
  • Butter – 2 tablespoons
  • Powdered Sugar – 2 tablespoons
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Strawberries: Wash and pat dry the fresh strawberries. Chop them into small, even pieces. Optionally, macerate the strawberries by tossing them lightly with powdered sugar or a few drops of lemon juice to enhance their sweetness and flavor.
  2. Melting the White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate chips or chopped bars over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir frequently to avoid burning and ensure a smooth, silky consistency.
  3. Combining Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted white chocolate with the heavy cream and butter if making a ganache or filling. Stir in the vanilla extract for added aroma and flavor, then fold in the prepared strawberries carefully.
  4. Assembling the Treat: Pour the mixture into molds, spread over biscuits, or fold into whipped cream to create mousses or parfaits according to your chosen variation. Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator as needed to allow it to set and develop the perfect texture.
  5. Final Touches: Garnish your creation with fresh strawberry slices, grated white chocolate, or a sprinkle of crushed nuts such as almonds or pistachios to add an attractive visual appeal and delicious contrast.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother melting and better blending.
  • Melt white chocolate slowly and stir frequently to prevent burning or graininess.
  • Always use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and brightness.
  • Allow adequate chilling time for optimal texture and structure.
  • Experiment by adding crunchy nuts or folding into whipped creams for exciting texture contrasts.
