This is an inside-out version of chocolate dipped
strawberries. Roasting the fruit brings out even more flavor and juiciness.
You'll never settle for plain old dipped berries again! You can use any type of
chocolate (milk, white, or semi-sweet), but remember bittersweet chocolate has
less sugar and is lower in carbs.

Stuffed Roasted Strawberries
Recipe Type:
Strawberries,
Dessert,
Chocolate
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Roast time: 10 min
Ingredients:
12 extra-large fresh
strawberries (the bigger the better!)
1 to 2 ounces bittersweet
chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon
granulated
sugar
Spray whipping cream (the kind in the can in the dairy section)
Cocoa powder, for garnishing
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Slice the tops of the
berries off just below the stem. Cut the tips off (about 1/4-inch), so that the
berries will sit upright. Next, use a small spoon or a melon ball scoop to
hollow out the strawberries, working from their tops, in order to create a
cavity in each one.
Stuff some chocolate into the cavity of each strawberry and
place them upright in a baking dish. Lightly sprinkle the berries with sugar. Roast the berries
in the preheated oven until soft and the chocolate is melted, about 10 to 12
minutes; remove from oven.<.p>
To serve, place 3 strawberries on a dessert plate in a triangle. If the berries have given off
liquid in the baking dish, spoon it over them. Spray a small mound of cream in
the center of the berries, and top each berry with a rosette of cream. Sift a
little cocoa powder over the plate, and serve!
Makes 4 servings.
