Chocolate Salted Caramel Strawberries Food

STRAWBERRIES WITH CHOCOLATE CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook sugar in a dry 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and carefully pour in cream (mixture will steam and bubble vigorously). Once bubbles begin to subside, return pan to moderate heat and cook, stirring constantly, until caramel is dissolved.
• Remove from heat, then add chocolate and salt and stir until chocolate is melted. Add butter and stir until just melted.
• Cool sauce slightly, then drizzle over strawberries.

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Washer strawberries and place on a rack or some paper towels to dry. It is very important that they are dry.
• 2. Take your 12 ounces of chocolate and 2 tablespoons of shortening and place in a small pot. Then take another pot of boiling water to put underneath I usually pick a pot that is smaller than the one I put the chocolate in. Once the water starts boiling I put the pot with the chocolate on top and I start stirring until I get a really nice smooth consistency.
• 3. Then I usually take a wooden skewer and I start dipping my strawberries being as careful as I can to pull back to green tops. After I dip them I let the excess drip and I place them on a sheet pan that's got parchment paper already on top of it
• 4. Once have done that I let them sit for a few minutes and then I take my Caramell syrup and start drizzling diagonally back-and-forth on an angle.
• 5. Sprinkle a little bit of kosher salt on top afterwards and Voila! I let them sit on the porch and paper until the chocolate is set.
• 6. I think it's easier to handle the strawberries when I played them on a very pretty - lightly sprayed with cooking spray. I lay them down points out and tops towards the center and I take the last few and pile them in the middle.
