Chocolate Mascarpone Strawberries

• 2 pounds Strawberries, Fresh And Washed
• 8 ounces, weight Mascarpone Cheese
• 3 Tablespoons Confectioners Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
• 1 bottle 7.5 Ounce Bottle Chocolate Shell Topping

1. Trim the tops off of the strawberries. Slice down the length of the strawberries. Hollow out the center/core with a slender knife. Set the berry halves aside.
2. In a medium sized bowl mix the mascarpone, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
3. Fill each of the hollowed out strawberries with the mascarpone mixture. Use a small spatula/scraper to fill and smooth the surface flat. Place the filled berries on a cookie sheet and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
4. Shake the bottle of shell topping well and squirt some into a flat, small saucer or plate.
5. Using a toothpick dip each strawberry into the shell topping. I just dip the cheese filled surface into the chocolate and leave the other side without chocolate. Let the chocolate drip for a few seconds and place the berry in a container or on a cookie sheet to allow chocolate to set. Repeat with the remaining berries and chocolate. Replenish the saucer as necessary.
