Here you go. This is for the next time you want to absolutely spoil your wife.
New York Style Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Covered, Graham Cracker Rolled Strawberries.
Needed ingredients:
Strawberries. I normally go ahead and get double the amount I intend to make, so that I can be picky about less than perfect strawberries, which can be set aside to be cut into thin slices and dusted with confectioner's sugar. So 4 containers of strawberries. Leave in fridge until ready to make.
Candy maker's chocolate melts. They may be called something else, they are small dots of chocolate that you can melt in a pot to have molten chocolate handy. Generally need about 1 cup of chocolate for every 8-10 strawberries. You want either dark chocolate, or semi-sweet. Milk chocolate is way too sweet with all the other sugar in this.
New York Style Cheesecake filling. I'm not putting a full recipe here, but for the love of entropy, don't use a box mix.
Graham Cracker crumbs. Either throw some graham crackers into a food processor, or just buy a bag of the stuff.
Once you have all the ingredients, start melting your chocolate in a double boiler while you prep the strawberries.
Remove all the strawberry leaves. This is crucial if you're going to reseal and double dip the strawberries. Also ensure you match the tops and bottoms so that you can rematch them together.
Cut the top ¼ inch off the strawberries. Insert your knife into the middle of the strawberries, and twist the knife to make a pocket.
Use an icing bag to pipe in the cheesecake filling.
Holding the bottom of the strawberry, barely dip it into the chocolate on the top of the cut berry, and use the chocolate as a glue to adhere the top of the berry back to the top, sealing the cheesecake inside. Dip the top of the berry, and allow to cool.
Once you have dipped all of the top of the berries, finish the chocolate coating by dipping the bottom, and rolling in the graham cracker crumbs to create a small "base."
Store in the fridge for at least two hours to allow the chocolate to fully harden.
Congratulations you now can totally spoil your wife, or possibly get out of the doghouse.
I basically never share this technique, as it is one that I came up with myself.
