Can I make this ahead and reheat

have made it before and it is very good......just trying to plan ahead

Thanks again for your help

Frozen Berries with Hot White Chocolate,

1 1/4 pounds good white chocolate, coarsely chopped

2 1/2 cups heavy cream

2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

2 1/4 pounds frozen mixed berries or frozen raspberries

Combine the chocolate, heavy cream, and the vanilla in a heat-proof bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate melts.

About 5 minutes before serving, remove the berries from the freezer and place them on individual serving plates. Ladle the warm chocolate sauce over the berries and serve.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Note: You can either buy frozen berries, or freeze your own by placing the berries on a flat tray in layer. When the berries are fully frozen, keep them a plastic bag in the freezer. Larger berries, such as strawberries, do not freeze well.

Gwen, I'm thinking the ganache will stiffen up, like for making truffles. It should warm back up,

maybe with a little cream added, back to pourable consistency, but I'm just guessing here.

 
My guess too but I'm thinking it may take longer to reheat it gently to right consistency than make

from scratch. It might be one of those things that's best done at the last minute.

 
I agree with Pat. It will take longer if it's cold than if it's warm. Plus you can

always warm the cream first to quicken the process. Remember that white chocolate has a lower melting point so watch carefully. You can zap it rather than double-boil, but you have to watch that even more carefully.

To save a smidgen of time, you can have the double boiler with the water simmering. Then all you'll need to do is melt right before serving.
