I popped it into the microwave for just 30 seconds at 10 seconds interval. Remove it every 10 seconds and mix well until it is melted. Once the chocolate is melted, set aside to cool completely. Once cold, now add in 1 cup of whipped cream and fold gently. Set aside. This is your white chocolate filling.
