Fresh Strawberries With Mascarpone Cheese, and Chocolate Sauce

An easy, timeless dessert made with fresh, in season, Strawberries, Mascarpone cheese, and a touch of chocolate sauce. Delicious, and not so sinfully unhealthy...am I right?

Fresh Strawberries With Mascarpone Cheese, and Chocolate Sauce



Serves 4

You will need:
16 fresh Strawberries
1/2 cup Mascarpone cheese
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
optional - chocolate sauce

Mix Mascarpone cheese, honey, and orange zest together in a small bowl.  Slice off the green tops of the strawberries, stand them on their heads and make deep slits in a cross pattern.  Fill each with a spoonful of the Mascarpone mixture (use a piping bag for this to make your life easier!  I usually just put the mixture into a ziploc bag and snip the tip off.)  Serve chilled.  If desired, just before serving, drizzle some chocolate syrup over the top. Enjoy!
