Chocolate-covered strawberries are a wonderful accompaniment to champagne and a beautiful, delicious treat to gift-box and present to friends. The combination of juicy, sweet strawberries and rich, dark chocolate creates an indescribable pleasure, enhanced by a pinch of chili pepper. For those who appreciate a more intense flavor, try the more fiery cayenne pepper, but if you're worried about the result, start with mild ancho powder. Melt the chocolate with cream, butter, and pepper in a double boiler, then dip the strawberries in it, allowing them to set and then be ready to enjoy! To make working with strawberries easier, choose ones with long stems.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Place the chocolate, cream, and butter in a heatproof bowl. Place it over a pan of simmering water. Make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir until the chocolate melts. Add the chili powder and stir until fully incorporated.
- Hold each strawberry by the long stem and dip it in the chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment- or waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Once the chocolate has cooled, refrigerate the strawberries until completely set, about 30 minutes.
