Ingredients

  • 1 Sara Lee Classic Cheesecake
  • 4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 1 Tablespoon corn syrup
  • 6-8 strawberries
  • 1/3 c. chocolate candy melts

Instructions

  • Remove the Sara Lee Classic Cheesecake from the wrapper and set on a cooling rack inside of a baking dish. Set aside.
  • Place the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the cream starts to steam but do not let it boil! Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate. Allow to sit in the cream for 3 minutes.
  • Stir the chocolate and cream together until the chocolate is completely incorporated into the cream. Stir in the corn syrup. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes or until it has thickened but is still pourable.
  • Place the chocolate candy melts in a microwave safe dish and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and then return to the microwave heating in 30 second intervals until completely melted.
  • Dip the strawberries into the chocolate then place on a piece of parchment paper to harden.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over top of the cheesecake using a spatula to spread it over the top and allowing it to drip over the sides (the baking pan will catch the mess).
  • Arrange the chocolate covered strawberries on top. Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours before serving.
