I spotted this recipe on BlogHer and all I can say is OMG! The recipe makes 20 and sounds absolutely amazing.
INGREDIENTS
20 strawberries
2 ounces good quality goat cheese (preferably as fresh as possible)
7 - 8 ounces of good quality dark or milk chocolate
METHOD
1. Wash and dry strawberries. Carefully slice strawberry through the point end up to, but not through, the stem end.
2. Gently open each strawberry and using a small spoon or the point of a knife, place a small amount of goat cheese in the hollow part of the berry. Press berry closed.
3. Place a few inches of water in a small saucepan and bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.
4. Place a heat-proof mixing bowl snugly on top of the saucepan, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.. Break chocolate into small pieces and put them in the bowl, stirring occasionally. When chocolate is melted, remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
5. While the chocolate is melting, line a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper. Set up three distinct dipping stations for the strawberries, chocolate and baking sheet.
6. Holding the berry by the stem end, dip in the chocolate, swirling to get all of the sides covered. Lift the berry out of the chocolate and shake gently to remove the excess chocolate.
7. Gently place the strawberries on the baking tray and let sit for 30 minutes to allow of the chocolate to harden (alternatively put it in the fridge). When the chocolate is completely set, it will no longer be shiny.
8. Serve immediately, or remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving.
