For a special presentation, I sprinkle a serving tray with crushed almonds, lay these strawberries on top and garnish them with mint leaves. Ingredients:
60 fresh strawberries (about 2 pounds) |
2 cups honey-roasted almonds |
1 package (10 ounces) 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
dash cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Wash strawberries and gently pat with paper towels until completely dry. Place almonds in a food processor; cover and process to desired fineness. Transfer to a shallow bowl; set aside.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter; add cayenne and stir until smooth. Dip strawberries in melted chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Roll berries in almonds; place on waxed paper and let stand until set. Serve immediately. Yield: 5 dozen.
