Ingredients
1lb stawberries
12oz best plain (semi-sweet) chocolate
Method
1. Leave the stems on the strawberries. They make a nice little ‘handle’. Wash and dry them and then put in the refrigerator to chill.
2. Melt the chocolate (see Basic Techniques if you don’t know how to do this).
3. Let the chocolate cool slightly, but it should not set. Take the strawberries from the refrigerator and, holding each one by its stem, dip it halfway into the chocolate so each one is half covered, then place on non-stick kitchen paper.
4. Put them back into the refrigerator to set but remove them about an hour before serving.
5. For a romantic evening, serve by candlelight with the best champagne you can afford!
