Ingredients
To make my homemade strawberry ganache recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- You can either use white chocolate chips or roughly chopped white chocolate bars.
- The white chocolate is heated it with heavy cream until fully melted.
- To flavor the white chocolate ganache, you’ll need freeze-dried strawberry powder. If you can only find freeze-dried strawberry slices, you can turn it into a powder by using a food processor, spice grinder, or a good ol’ Ziploc bag and rolling pin!
- The strawberry powder isn’t enough to yield a vibrant pink ganache. You can always add a bit of red or pink gel food coloring. If you want natural food coloring, you can add some beet powder!
For the full list of ingredients and measurements, see the recipe card below.
How to make Creamy Strawberry Ganache
Step 1: Add white chocolate chips and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds, then mix using silicone spatula. If the chocolate is not fully melted, microwave at 10-second intervals, mixing until smooth.
Step 2: Stir in strawberry powder food coloring. Place bowl into the fridge and stir every 15 minutes until the ganache is thickened to your desired consistency. You can also whip it once it’s cold enough. It can take up to 1 hour and 30 minutes to fully set.

Equipment
- microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
- 6 ounces (170 g) white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (59.5 g) heavy cream
- 1-2 tablespoons (6 g) freeze-dried strawberry powder adjust to taste
- red or pink food coloring for a natural dye, try beet powder
Instructions
- Add 6 ounces white chocolate chips and ¼ cup heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds, then mix using silicone spatula. If the chocolate is not fully melted, microwave at 10-second intervals, mixing until smooth.
- Mix in 1-2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder and stir until combined. Adjust to taste. Mix in a small drop of red or pink food coloring.
- Place bowl into the fridge and stir every 15 minutes until the ganache is thickened to your desired consistency. For instance, if you're using the ganache as a cupcake filling, it’s easier to work with before it fully sets. For macarons, you’ll want to chill it longer until it thickens enough to hold its shape when piped. You can also whip chilled ganache while it's still in liquid form!It can take up to 1 hour and 30 minutes to fully set.
- Enjoy! 🙂
