Ingredients: 1/2 cup (3 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips; 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream; 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Ripe, red strawberries, star in this simple, yet elegant dessert. The berries rest on a decadent chocolate ganache sauce to create a stunning presentation.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (3 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Directions

In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips with cream over low heat. Remove from the heat. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally.
For pourable ganache, cool chocolate mixture until it reaches 85°-90° and is slightly thickened, about 40 minutes.
In dessert glasses, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chocolate ganache. Using the back of a teaspoon, carefully smooth ganache upwards to create an attractive swirl or flower petal pattern. Arrange strawberries in glass.
