As a speaker and consultant on aphrodisiac foods, I've noticed that sometimes there is a disparity between the kind of pleasure women and men find in food.
This recipe, shared from my cookbook Fork Me, Spoon Me, is for the ladies.
Both chocolate and cheese, the recipe's two main ingredients, contain phenylethylamine, PEA, a chemical believed to aid in stimulating sexual arousal-good for both men and women. But soft, ripe brie emits an aroma that is said to trigger pheromone receptors in women, making this dish ladies' choice.
Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 t butter
1 1/2 c dark chocolate chips
1/2 c heavy cream
6 oz wedge of ripe brie
1 pint strawberries, washed with stems on
1/2 French baguette
Instructions
1 1/2 t butter
1 1/2 c dark chocolate chips
1/2 c heavy cream
6 oz wedge of ripe brie
1 pint strawberries, washed with stems on
1/2 French baguette
Put garlic on a baking tray and sprinkle chunks of butter on top. Toast under the broiler until just brown. (Adult supervision recommended.) Remove from broiler and toss the hard, golden chips in the melted butter and set aside to rest.
Arrange the brie and strawberries on a serving platter.
In a double boiler or a metal mixing bowl fitted onto a small pot of simmering water, gently melt the chocolate chips with the cream over low heat, stirring steadily with a gentle motion. (Note: You can melt chocolate in the microwave, but it burns very easily this way. Only try this method if you feel sure of your technique.)
When chocolate reaches a smooth, creamy texture, remove from heat and fold in the hard garlic chips.
Smother the cheese with the hot chocolate and allow the sweet topping to drench a few berries.
Serve immediately with a hunk of French bread and a total lack of inhibition.
