Chocolate Kissed Strawberries Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 pt Strawberries, washed and patted dry
- 1 ounce Semi sweet chocolate
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Butter
- 1 Tbsp. Corn syrup
- 1 Tbsp. Rum, (optional)
Directions
- 1. In a double boiler over warm, not boiling water, combine chocolate, butter, corn syrup and rum.
- 2. Heat till chocolate is melted, stirring mix till smooth. Remove from heat.
- 3. Dip each berry into the chocolate, coating about 2/3 of it. Hold above the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- 4. Place the berry on waxed paper to harden. When cooled, chill for about 20 min.
- Make Ahead: You may make these a day or possibly two ahead, store in a covered container in the refrigerator but they taste best if served within a few hrs of coating.
- Something special Want to add in a little more pizzaz to plain strawberries
- Grab a syringe or possibly flavor injector, fill it with Grand Marnier and inject a small amount of the delicious liqueur into the center of the fruit.
- Something spectacular! Twice dip the strawberries! Heat 1 ounce. of white chocolate. After dipping the berry in semi-sweet chocolate (coating about 2/3 of the berry), let it set, then dip the same berry in melted white chocolate, coating about 1/3 of the berry. For the best visual effect, you want to leave some of the semisweet chocolate visible.
- Notes: Chocolate Kissed Strawberries are so simple, elegant and satisfying.
- Feed them to your lover in whatever style suits your mood. Select berries with a strong red color, green hulls and a fragrant strawberry scent. Avoid blemished berries or possibly scentless ones.
