If you're looking for an elegant and delicious dessert for a special occasion, these Red Wine Ganache-Stuffed Strawberries are perfect. The combination of rich dark chocolate, red wine, and creamy whipped cream complements the sweet and juicy berries. This dessert looks impressive but is easy to make and will definitely leave a lasting impression on your guests or your significant other.

Instructions

1.	Rinse and pat dry 12 medium sized strawberries. Cut off the green stems and use a small spoon or a paring knife to carefully carve out a small hole in the center of each berry.
2.	In a small saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of heavy cream over medium heat until bubbles start to form around the edges.
3.	Place 3 ounces of dark chocolate chips in a small glass bowl and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Use a whisk to stir until smooth.
4.	Add 2 tablespoons of red wine to the chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
5.	Place the ganache in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes firm but not too hard.
6.	Spoon or pipe the ganache into the strawberries, filling the holes until slightly mounded.
7.	Top each berry with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and garnish with a small sliced strawberry. Serve chilled.

PROS

These stuffed strawberries are a decadent and impressive dessert that is easy to make.
The combination of chocolate and red wine is the perfect match for any special occasion or romantic evening.

CONS

This recipe makes only 12 small stuffed strawberries, so it may not be suitable for a larger gathering.
Also, the ganache needs time to set in the fridge, so it’s not a quick dessert option.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this dessert is not particularly healthy, strawberries are a great source of vitamin C, folate, and potassium. Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants that have been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and improving brain function. Red wine, in moderation, has also been shown to have some health benefits, such as reducing the risk of stroke and heart disease.
