Steps:
- Gently rinse strawberries and dry on paper towels (berries must be completely dry). Line cookie sheet with waxed paper.
- In 1-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- Dip lower half of each strawberry into chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip back into saucepan. Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.

Steps:
- Put the semisweet and white chocolates into 2 separate heatproof medium bowls. Fill 2 medium saucepans with a couple inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
- Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.
- Set the strawberries aside until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Paraffin was originally used instead of shortening. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on a sheet of wax paper. White chocolate may be drizzled over the milk chocolate for a fancier look. They are perfect for weddings when decorated with frosting bow ties, bells, butterflies, roses, etc.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberries and champagne. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12-36 hours. The longer the strawberries soak, the more prominent the champagne flavor will be.
- Remove the strawberries from the champagne and dry well with a paper towel. Reserve the champagne.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Fill a small saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Set a medium heatproof bowl over the pot, making sure the water is not touching the bottom, and add the white chocolate. Melt, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in the canola oil until well combined. Transfer the melted chocolate to a mug or measuring cup.
- Hold the top of each strawberry and dip into the melted white chocolate, coating almost completely. Lift out and shake off any excess chocolate, then place on the prepared baking sheet. If the chocolate is still very thin and runny, wait until it cools slightly and coats the strawberry without creating a puddle of chocolate on the pan beneath the strawberry.
- While the chocolate is still melted, decorate each strawberry with gold luster dust and gold sprinkles.
- Transfer to the refrigerator to set for 30 minutes, up to overnight.
- Just before serving, fill 12 mini culinary pipettes with the reserved champagne (or use fresh champagne, if desired). Insert a pipette into each strawberry.
- Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the cake: Sift the cake flour with the cocoa and 3/4 cup of the sugar into a large bowl.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Sprinkle the cream of tartar over the egg whites and continue to beat until they hold a soft peak. Add the vanilla extract and gradually beat in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a spatula, gradually fold in the flour mixture, sprinkling in about 1/4 cup at a time. Pour the batter into an ungreased 9-inch angel food cake pan and bake until the cake springs back when pressed with your finger, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 1 hour, then loosen the cake from the sides and center of the pan with a knife before unmolding.
- For the strawberries: Combine the strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl and toss gently to coat every slice. Let the strawberries stand for about 30 minutes to allow the juices to develop. Serve over the chocolate angel food cake.

Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Make the Pavlova: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until very foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time (this should take about 3 minutes). Continue beating until stiff and shiny, about 3 more minutes.
- Sift the cocoa powder over the egg white mixture and sprinkle with the chopped chocolate; fold to combine. Spread the meringue into an 8-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet, making a shallow well in the center. Reduce the oven temperature to 225 degrees F; bake until firm and dry, about 2 hours. Turn off the oven and open the door slightly. Let the meringue cool in the oven, about 3 hours. Carefully remove from the parchment and transfer to a platter.
- Make the toppings: Beat the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Toss the strawberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Top the Pavlova with the whipped cream and strawberries.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, plump strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry before dipping them in chocolate.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best results. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate works well.
- Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning.
- Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them until the chocolate has set.
- For a fun twist, try drizzling the chocolate-covered strawberries with melted white chocolate or sprinkles.
Conclusion:
