Instructions:

Reserve 4 best strawberries. Wash, drain, and slice the rest and set aside. Using an inverted custard cup as a mold, press a double-thick square of foil over top and down sides, curving foil back slightly at base. Remove from mold. Repeat to make 3 more foil cups. Spray the outside of each foil mold lightly with vegetable cooking spray. Melt Dolci frutta according to package directions. Dip 4 reserved berries for garnish and set aside on waxed paper. Fill a pastry bag, parchment, or waxed paper cone with remaining melted Dolci frutta.* Using or cutting a 1/16” tip, pipe or drizzle melted Dolci frutta in a circle around base of mold then up over the sides in a lacy basket pattern. Refrigerate 30 minutes to set. Drizzle a second layer to form almost solid bottom and strengthen sides. Re-cool 30 minutes until set. With cool, dry hands, carefully separate foil from finished ‘basket’. Hold basket lightly to prevent breakage; place each on a cool dessert plate. Fill baskets with sliced, drained berries. Top with sweetened** whipped cream. Garnish with reserved Dolci frutta-dipped berries. Serves 4.

*If Dolci frutta cools, simply put parchment or waxed paper decorating cone back in microwave for a few moments to re-soften. If using pastry bag, remove any metal tips or rings before microwaving.

**Use your choice of sugar or sweet liqueur to sweeten cream after whipping. Mix in well.
