5 Romantic Dessert Ideas - Liquor Strawberries
By Gatti
1 - Liquor Filled Chocolate Strawberries.
Ingredients needed:
- Strawberries
- A Bottle of Liquor
- Chocolate Icing
- Melted Chocolate
These ones are very easy to make.
First hollow out the strawberries from the top with a knife.
Then carefully pour the liquor inside of the strawberry.
Next you put the chocolate icing over the top of the hole so that the melted chocolate doesn't go in.
Lastly you cover the strawberry with the melted chocolate and place them onto rice paper to allow it to dry.
2 - Flaming Chocolate Heart Cake
Ingredients:
- Chocolate Cake Mix
- Red Cake Icing
- High Proof liquor - ex. Bacardi 151 Rum
- Strawberries
- White Squirt Out Icing for Writing
- Heart Shaped Baking Pan
First step is to bake the chocolate cake in your oven.
Next after you cake has cooled down and you've removed it from the pan you are going to put the red icing on it.
After putting the red icing on the cake you will get your White Icing and write both you and your date's names on the cake.
Then you will get two strawberries and hollow out the insides of them from the top.
Place one of the strawberries above each of the names and add extra red icing around the base of them if you need to secure them.
Carefully pour your high proof liquor into the strawberries.
When you are serving the cake use a lighter to light the strawberries on fire. They don't hold much liquor and won't burn for long so hold off on lighting them until the last second.
