Combine Chocolate and Cream
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

Prepare the Strawberries
Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut off the green tops.

Coat the Strawberries
Dip each strawberry into the ganache, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
