Liquor-infused chocolate strawberries are an indulgent treat that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries, the richness of dark chocolate, and the sophisticated flavors of your favorite liquor. These delectable bites are perfect for special occasions, parties, or as a luxurious dessert to spoil yourself. The strawberries are soaked in your choice of liqueur, which infuses them with a delightful boozy flavor. They are then dipped in luxurious dark chocolate and chilled to perfection. The result is a mouthwatering combination that will have everyone reaching for seconds.
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 1 cup of your favorite liquor (such as rum, whiskey, or liqueur)
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chips or bars
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shaved chocolate
Directions
- Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and hulls, leaving the strawberries intact.
- In a shallow dish or bowl, pour the liquor over the strawberries, ensuring they are completely submerged. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a stronger flavor. You can also leave them to soak overnight in the refrigerator.
- Once the strawberries are finished soaking, remove them from the liquor and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set them aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips or bars with the vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Using a toothpick or skewer, dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the dipped strawberry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If desired, sprinkle the dipped strawberries with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shaved chocolate while the chocolate is still wet.
- Repeat the dipping process with the remaining strawberries.
- Once all the strawberries are dipped and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Serve the liquor-infused chocolate strawberries chilled and enjoy!
