Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries [Photo by Pauline D. Loh/China Daily] |
Ingredients:
1 box fresh strawberries
300g dark cooking chocolate or 64 percent couverture, chopped
100ml cream
Method:
1. Melt chocolate and cream over a pot of simmering water or in a double boiler. The only thing you have to remember is to not let the bottom of the pan of chocolate come in contact with the water.
2. Stir until the chocolate pieces are mostly melted. Remove from heat and stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
3. Clean each strawberry with a damp cloth and skewer on a cocktail stick. Gently dip the bottom half of each fruit in the chocolate mixture.
4. Poke the chocolate strawberries onto a large grapefruit to cool and harden.
5. Place in the fridge to harden completely. Serve with very chilled glasses of champagne.
