Answer 1

Liquor-Infused Chocolate Strawberries:
INGREDIENTS:
16 large fresh strawberries with
leaves
1/2 cup brandy-based orange
liqueur (Grand Marnier®)
1 pound bittersweet chocolate,
chopped 2 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup brandy-based orange
liqueur (Grand Marnier®)
1 (1 ounce) square chopped
white chocolate

DIRECTIONS:
1. Rinse strawberries and dry thoroughly. Use a syringe or clean marinade injector to inject about 2 teaspoons of brandy into each berry. Place them on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
2. In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, combine bittersweet chocolate and shortening. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Stir in heavy cream and 1/4 cup of brandy. Place white chocolate in a separate bowl, and when the dark chocolate has melted, place the bowl of white chocolate over the pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Be sure to remove from heat as soon as it is mostly melted, white chocolate can be sensitive.
3. Dip strawberries into chocolate, and let the excess drip off into the bowl before placing on waxed paper to set. When the strawberries have all been dipped in chocolate, dip a fork into the white chocolate, and drizzle back and forth over berries to stripe.

Answer 2

Here are two pies to try. They are tried and true family recipes!

Grasshopper Pie
Pre-made Chocolate Cookie Crust
3 cups miniature marshmallows
½ cup milk
¼ cup green Crème de Menthe
3 tablespoons white Crème de Cacao
1 container of Cool Whip
Few drops green food coloring

In medium saucepan, heat marshmallows and milk over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until marshmallows melt. Chill until thickened; blend in crème de menthe and crème de cacao. In chilled bowl, fold marshmallow mixture into cool whip; fold in food color. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with grated semisweet chocolate. Chill until set.


Derby Pie
3 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup Jack Daniel's
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 cup whole pecans
1 10-inch pie crust

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine eggs, sugar, butter, syrup, vanilla and Jack Daniel's Tennessee. Mix well then strain. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust; cover with pecans. Pour filling over chips and pecans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean. Set aside for at least 30 minutes before cutting. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Answer 3

My wife made a decadent Chocolate Amaretto cheese cake. I have been looking for the recipe for another user and have not found it yet. She passed away a few years ago and left 10 to 12 boxes of recipes. If I find it I will let you know.

Edit: I noticed you do not accept email. If you are interested email with an email address and I will send it, if I ever find it.
