Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse and thoroughly dry 16 medium fresh strawberries, then thread two strawberries each onto 8 wooden skewers.
  2. Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 oz dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Step 3: Dip each strawberry on the skewers halfway into the melted dark chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place them on parchment paper-lined tray to set for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, gently heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming but not boiling, then remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  5. Step 5: Using a spoon, drizzle the warm vanilla cream over the chocolate-dipped strawberries just before serving to add a silky contrast.
