Chocolate Pistachio Truffle Berries Ingredients For the filling: 8 oz. Mascarpone cheese 5 oz. light cream cheese 3 oz. dark or semi-sweet chocolate, melted 1 1/2 Tablespoons honey 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla About 1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil or mint leaves (optional) And the rest: 1 - 2 lb. fresh strawberries Good quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate, melted, for dipping Chopped roasted pistachios Instructions Mix together all the filling ingredients. Beat with a mixer on high speed until the mixture is soft and fluffy. Clean the strawberries, then, using a small knife cut out a cone in the center of each berry to make a hole for the filling. Cover a flat surface (such as a large cutting board or baking sheet) with waxed paper or a nonstick silicon baking mat. Pipe (or spoon) as much of the filling as you can fit into each berry. Melt the dipping chocolate and drizzle over the end of the berry to seal in the filling, then sprinkle the chocolate end of the berry with chopped pistachios and set the berry gently on the prepared surface. Repeat with the other berries until you run out of berries (or filling or chocolate). Make some without the nuts to please those who arent partial to nuts. Let the berries sit until the chocolate has set ... or set the tray in the fridge to set faster. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until serving time. Serve the same day for best results.
