Liquor-Infused Chocolate Strawberries
Source: AllRecipes.com Submitted
by: KELSTOUCH 16 large fresh strawberries
with leaves 1/2 cup Grand Marnier (orange brandy) 1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped 2 tablespoons shortening 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1/4 cup Grand Marnier 1 (1 ounce) square chopped white chocolate Rinse strawberries
and dry thoroughly. Use a syringe or clean marinade injector to inject about 2 teaspoons of brandy into each berry. Place
them on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, combine bittersweet
chocolate and shortening. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Stir in heavy
cream and 1/4 cup of brandy. Place white chocolate in a separate bowl, and when the dark chocolate has melted, place the bowl
of white chocolate over the pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Be sure to remove from heat as soon
as it is mostly melted, white chocolate can be sensitive. Dip strawberries into chocolate, and let the excess drip off into
the bowl before placing on waxed paper to set. When the strawberries have all been dipped in chocolate, dip a fork into the
white chocolate, and drizzle back and forth over berries to stripe.
