Strawberries with Chocolate Cream

Valentines Day has come early to I Can Cook That! Ok, not really. I made them for a party recently, but they would be perfect for a Valentines Day dessert, or with your coffee in the morning! I found this recipe on Taste of Home. After reading the reviews, a few people suggested adding some powdered sugar to sweeten up the chocolate cream. I love anything sweet, so I took their suggestion!
Ingredients:
1-1/2 ounces dark chocolate, grated, divided
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup whipped topping
2 containers of fresh strawberries, halved

I used  dark chocolate bars from Trader Joe’s. They come in 1.75 oz little bars so I used two of those 1.75 oz bars. Take the first bar and melt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, add the cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar and whipped topping. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
Add the melted chocolate and beat until combined. Add the mixture to a plastic zip lock bag.
Cut off the lower corner and pipe onto the strawberries, with the cut side up.
 Using a grater, grate the remaining chocolate over the strawberries.

These are really simple, and really tasty too!

I think the addition of the powdered sugar was a good idea. Fresh strawberries can be a bit tart, so it was nice to add some extra sweetness within the chocolate cream.

The cream cheese adds a nice smoothness to the chocolate cream. They are so pretty too, aren’t they?

You can make these ahead of time and then pop them in the refrigerator until needed.

    These strawberries are yummy. In my book, chocolate and strawberries go hand in hand. A great recipe. I’m going to make them for Valentine’s Day.
