Strawberry Roses Recipe in 15 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Wash and dry the 12 large fresh strawberries thoroughly. Note: Moisture prevents chocolate from sticking and makes the berry slippery.
2. Insert one bamboo skewer into the green leafy end of each berry, pushing about halfway through. until the berry feels secure and doesn't wobble.
3. Hold the skewer at a 45 degree angle and make a small cut about 1cm from the base. until you feel the knife reach the core.
4. Gently push the blade outward to flare the petal. until the petal stays open on its own.
5. Repeat the base cuts four times around the bottom of the strawberry, staggering them like real rose petals.
6. Move up the berry and create a second row of cuts between the first row's petals. until the berry looks full and layered.
7. Carve the very top by making two deep vertical cuts to form the bud of the rose.
8. Melt the 100g dark chocolate with 15ml neutral vegetable oil in 30 second bursts. until the mixture is velvety and fluid.
9. Drizzle the chocolate over the petals using a spoon. until the edges are lightly coated and glistening.
10. Tuck the 5g fresh mint leaves around the base of the skewer until the rose looks like it has natural greenery.
