Stuffed Roasted Strawberries



STUFFED ROASTED STRAWBERRIES

Ingredients:
12 extra-large strawberries (the bigger the better!)
1 to 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (or any other type of chocolate you have on hand)
1 teaspoon sugar, optional

Spray whipping cream (the kind that comes in a can or whip your own)
Cocoa powder, for garnishing

To prepare:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the tops of the berries off just below the stem. Cut the bottoms off (about 1/4-inch), so that the berries will sit upright.
Next, use a melon ball scoop to hollow out the tops of the strawberries, to create a bowl in each one.
Stuff some chopped chocolate into the hollow part of each strawberry and place them upright in a baking dish.
Lightly sprinkle the berries with sugar.
Roast the strawberries until soft and the chocolate is melted, about 10 to 12 minutes.

To serve:
Place 3 strawberries on a dessert plate in a triangle. Spoon baking juices over them. Top each berry with a little bit of whipped cream if desired and sift a little cocoa powder over the plate.

Serves 4.

Lemonade Pie




LEMONADE PIE

Ingredients:
1 can condensed milk
6 oz. can frozen lemonade, slightly thawed (if for some reason you can't find the small cans, I couldn't, just get the big can and use half of it)
9 oz. Cool Whip
1 graham cracker crust

To prepare:
Mix condensed milk and lemonade. Fold in the chilled Cool Whip. Pour into crust. Chill a few hours before serving.

Notes: One variation is to use pink lemonade...tastes pretty much the same, but has a festive pink color. It is normal to have leftovers when you use the regular sized pie crust. Apparently they sell a slightly larger than average graham cracker crust, and if you get that one then all the filling fits, you just have a few spoonfuls left over. So, you can either make a bigger pie, or a regular one and save the leftovers. The leftovers are good frozen and then served as mousse or eaten with fresh fruit.

To serve:
Slice and serve cold. It is good on its own, with whipped cream, or with fresh fruit.

Serves 8.
