Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Recipe courtesy of Gourmet Magazine
Ingredients
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
10 large strawberries with long stems
Directions
Line a baking sheet with foil or waxed paper.
In the top of a double boiler set over hot water melt the chocolate, stirring. Add the 3
tablespoons of cream and the butter and stir until smooth. Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip
into the chocolate mixture allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the pan. If necessary,
add additional cream to the chocolate to achieve desired coating consistency. Transfer the coated
strawberry to the lined sheet and repeat process. Allow the chocolate to cool and then chill the
strawberries until chocolate is set, about 20 to 30 minutes.
