Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries with Chili Pepper

Ingredients:

• 10 large strawberries
• 170 g bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1/8 tsp ground chili powder, such as ancho

Preparation:

1. Place the chocolate, cream, and butter in a heatproof bowl. Place it over a pan of simmering water. Make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir until the chocolate melts. Add the chili powder and stir until fully incorporated.
2. Hold each strawberry by the long stem and dip it in the chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment- or waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Once the chocolate has cooled, refrigerate the strawberries until completely set, about 30 minutes.
