The first time that I encountered chocolate dipped strawberries was in New York about 5 years ago. NYC might be called 'The Big Apple' but having seen the size of the strawberries there I think it should be renamed!It was the winter there at the time so I'm guessing that the giant berries that I gazed at through the window of chocolate shops were neither seasonal or organic. In spite of this my passion for chocolate strawberries was sealed. This recipe is so simple I'm sure you could have come up with it yourself. Last week at the Irish Business Women conference I had some that were double dipped in both white and dark chocolate. If I get a chance I will give these a go at the weekend and update this post with the results.
Ingredients
100g Good quality organic chocolate (dark or milk)
1 punnet Strawberries
Chop the chocolate into chunks, place into a pyrex bowl that is just the right size to sit over a pan of boiling water without making contact with the water.
Melt the chocolate over the water.
Taking the strawberries one at a time by the stalk dip three quarters of the way in chocolate.
Place on a plate to cool.
Good to meet you the other week Amanda. These look delicious! Will have to try it. I always added cream, but plain chocolate sounds even better! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Deborah,
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of adding cream, I have a great chocolate sauce recipe that makes lovely truffles when it chills. Would be great on the strawberries. Thanks for the suggestion.
Loving the new site by the way.
