Things I Think Are Kinda Cool

Thanks to the geniuses at Sweet Tooth, I am now able to share with you the MOST IMPORTANT CREATION OF OUR TIME:

The Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shot Glass!

They’re incredibly simple to make:

1.  Cut the pointy end off the strawberries to create a base

2.  Scoop out the middle with a paring knife and small spoon.  (Make sure to not make them too thin)

3.  Dip them in delicious melted chocolate

4.  Put them in the freezer

5.  When you’re ready, take them out and let them thaw for a bit.  Then get wild and add your alcohol of choice.  (The editors of Sweet Tooth used vanilla vodka, Godiva chocolate liqueur, and some chocolate syrup!  Wow.)

6.  Drink, eat, and pass out.

7.  Repeat!

If I ever find myself standing in front of a firing squad and asked what I want my last meal to be, after listing off a dozen potato-based items, this dessert will absolutely be requested.  It combines three of my favorite obsessions – lemon, chocolate, and alcohol – into one exceptionally delicious and decadent treat.  I’m still shocked at the lack of lemon/chocolate creations in the food world – trust me, it’s an untapped combination that’s just waiting to be exploited.

Enjoy a Lemon Lusso (Luxurious Lemon)…

- Start with a slice of moist pound cake.  I’m old-school, so I chose a Sara Lee freezer-section pound cake – it reminds me of my childhood and it’s sinfully tasty.

- Add a scoop of your favorite ice cream.  I went with classic vanilla.

- Pour a liberal amount of Limoncello over your creation.

- Shave some dark chocolate and lemon rind over the ice cream.

- Add a handful of Quadratini Dark Chocolate Wafer Cookies

- Ciao Down!

UPDATE! – at last night’s 5/21/11 Rapture Post-Party, I brought along my Lemon Lusso creation to share with the fellow sinners, and added an ingredient that put the proverbial icing on the cake…non-fat REDDI-WIP WHIPPED CREAM!   Awwww, yeah.
