Chocolate Coated Strawberries

Ingredients:

12 large strawberries
3/4 cup white chocolate, chopped

Method:

1. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.
2. Place the chocolate in a double boiler and melt it over a slow flame.
3. Stir well using a spatula till the chocolate has melted and resembles a sauce.
4. Remove from the double boiler and continue to stir it for a few minutes till it comes to room temperature and is still of sauce-like consistency.
5. Dip the base of the strawberries in it so that the chocolate coats half of each strawberry evenly.
6. Place them on a tray covered with grease proof paper and refrigerate till required.
7. Serve as petit fours or as a garnish on a bowl of strawberry ice-cream. You can also use dark chocolate instead of white.
