Cut the base off the strawberries.

Using a small knife, trim four petals on each side of the strawberry from the middle towards the base, slicing slightly inwards and leaving the bottom ⅓ intact.

Make four petals between each of the outer ones.

Cut a v-shape on the top of each berry.

Melt the dark chocolate.

Spoon the chocolate in a round disc onto parchment paper.

Dry the base of the strawberries on a kitchen towel (this will ensure the chocolate will stick).

Top the chocolate disc with the strawberry roses and allow to set.

Decorate with a mint or basil leaf.

Serve as is or with whipped cream.
