Macarons with strawberry white chocolate ganache filling



Just made these today. The shells are made according to the basic macaron recipe *here*

Strawberry white chocolate ganache
300g white cooking chocolate, chopped to a "grated" consistency
100ml heavy cream
3 strawberries, roughly chopped

1. Heat heavy cream until boiling.
2. Pour boiled cream onto chocolate and let sit for two minutes to allow chocolate to melt.
3. Mix in a slow circular motion, try not to incorporate air into mixture.
4. Once homogenous, add chopped strawberries and stir gently. Cover with cling film and let it set in the refrigerator.
