1/2 lb. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 pcs. Acetate paper or transparency paper, cut 2inches X 11inches
1 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. raspberries
1/4 c. blueberries
1/4 c. blackberries, halved
1/4 c. strawberries, sliced
2 tbsp. chambord or framboise(liquor store)
1/4 c. white chocolate godiva (liquor store)
4 mint sprigs
1/4 c. raspberry sauce
Method:
Place the chocolate pieces in a very clean and dry stainless steel bowl. Place bowl over a saucepan filled half way with simmering water. When chocolate melts, stir once with a rubber spatula. Carefully run one side of the acetate through the chocolate while holding both sides. Wrap acetate so the ends meet with the chocolate on the inside. Take a paper clip and attach with the smallest amount of surface area the ends of the acetate. Take about a tablespoon of the chocolate and fill the bottom of the teardrop, spreading with a skewer, making sure there are no holes. Freeze for at least 1 hour. Pull the teardrops out of the freezer, take off the paper clip, and unwrap the chocolate teardrop. Place the whipped cream in a pastry bag or Ziploc bag with the corner cut off, and pipe some into the teardrop (3/4 the way up). Pour 1 tablespoon of the Godiva in the teardrop and place some berries on top. Garnish with fresh fruit, raspberry sauce and fresh mint.
