Marbled Ganache for Easy Chocolate-Covered Strawberries Recipe

1. For the Dark Chocolate Ganache: In a 1-quart stainless steel saucier, bring the cream to a gentle simmer. When it's bubbling hard around the edges, pour over dark chocolate in a medium bowl. Let stand 30 seconds, then whisk gently to combine. Stand at room temperature until 85°F, about 8 minutes.

2. For the White Chocolate Ganache: In a 1-quart stainless steel saucier, bring the cream to a gentle simmer. When it's bubbling hard around the edges, pour over white chocolate in a medium bowl. Let stand 30 seconds, then add a pinch of salt and whisk gently to combine. Stand at room temperature until 85°F, about 8 minutes.

3. To Combine: Pour half the dark ganache into a small serving bowl, followed by half the white ganache. Then pour in half the remaining dark ganache, followed by half the remaining white ganache, then repeat. Swirl together with a toothpick and serve with fresh fruit, pretzels, shortbread cookies, or whatever you're inclined to dunk in chocolate.

Special Equipment

1-quart stainless steel saucier, thermometer

Notes

To save on cleanup, you can combine the cream for both ganaches in a single pot, then pour the correct amount over each chocolate on a scale. An equal amount of milk chocolate can be used in place of white.
