Ingredients
1 lb fresh strawberries
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
8 oz Mascarpone cheese
chopped pistachios or toasted almonds or melted white chocolate
Directions
Using a pairing knife cut stems off strawberries and core centers, being careful not to cut entirely through strawberries flesh. Spoon Mascarpone cheese into a piping bag or resealable bag and cut a tip off one corner of bag. Pipe Mascarpone into cored strawberries. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with wax paper, set aside. Place chocolate in a heat proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat chocolate, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth. Dip stuffed strawberries in melted chocolate and allow excess to run off. Transfer dipped strawberries to prepared baking sheet . Transfer to refrigerator and chill until chocolate has set, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired. For best results serve immediately.
