Chocolate Strawberry Shots with Ganache Filling

Turn Strawberries into Shot Glasses

Here's a great way to take Chocolate Dipped Strawberries to a whole new level:  Ganache-filled Strawberry Shots!  You can turn a strawberry into a shot glass with just a few flicks of the wrist.  First, hollow out your strawberries with either a paring knife or a strawberry huller to make room for a shot full of ganache chocolate.  Then slice off the pointed tip of the strawberry to make it possible to stand the strawberry up after it's been dipped in melted chocolate.  I love how it looks like a footed edible shot glass when it's all done!  Yum!

Chocolate Strawberry Shots with Ganache Filling                    Print

Ingredients:

• 1 pint of strawberries
• 8 oz Chocolate Flavored Candy Wafers
• 4 ounces heavy cream
• Sheet pan lined with a baking mat or parchment paper
• Strawberry Huller and Paring Knife

Directions:

1. Slice off the pointed end of the strawberry, just enough to form a flat surface
2. Slice off the top of the strawberry, and carefully hollow out a cavity.
3. Melt 4 ounces of Chocolate Candy Wafers according to package instructions
4.  Create the footed bottom of your strawberry shot by dipping the sliced end of strawberry into melted wafers. Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet and chill for 5 minutes. You may have to hold the strawberry in place for a moment so that it does not fall over.
5. Melt 4 ounces of candy wafers according to package instructions. Microwave 4 ounces of heavy cream until hot. Stir melted wafers and hot heavy cream together to make ganache.
6. Fill strawberry cups with ganache. You can add whipped cream as a garnish.
7. Enjoy!
