Jump to RecipeTo start, let's make the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate chips and let it sit for a minute. Then, add in the butter and vanilla extract and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Next, let's prepare the chocolate-covered strawberries. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Then, roll the dipped strawberry in the crushed freeze-dried raspberries for a pop of color and added flavor.
Place the chocolate-covered strawberries in the refrigerator to set while you assemble the rest of the dessert.
Now, it's time to assemble the dessert. Take your favorite heart-shaped mold and pour the chocolate ganache into the bottom, filling it about 1/4 inch thick. Place the mold in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to let the ganache set.
Once the ganache is set, place the chocolate-covered strawberries on top, pressing them gently into the ganache. Pour the remaining chocolate ganache over the strawberries, making sure to cover them completely.
Place the mold back in the refrigerator and let it set for at least an hour. When ready to serve, gently remove the chocolate heart from the mold and place it on a serving plate.
For an extra romantic touch, sprinkle some edible rose petals on top of the chocolate heart before serving.
This Valentine's Day chocolate recipe is sure to impress your loved one and make their heart skip a beat. So why not skip the store-bought chocolates and show your love with this homemade, decadent dessert?
