This weeks scrumptious Saturday is chocolate coated strawberries! And yeah maybe today is Monday, but in my defence it's a long weekend here in Aussie-land so really it's practically still Saturday right?
RIGHT?
Anyway on with the recipe!
Fruit dipped in chocolate. Is there really anything better than melted chocolate? On a recent trip to Japan, I stopped by this restaurant that had it's own chocolate fountain and people were dipped everything from strawberries to bread sticks in there! Everything truly does taste better with warm chocolate. With that in mind heres a recipe for chocolate coated strawberries, a simple yet classic dish!
And because it's got strawberries in it, it's got to be healthy!
Right?
In a double boiler, melt about 100-150 grams of chocolate melts. When the chocolate is just melted remove from the heat.
Dip the strawberries into the chocolate until just covered, then remove and stick in the styrofoam board. (I find sticking the tops of the toothpicks into the frozen ice at the bottom of the freezer works really well if you don't have a board- another excuse to put off defrosting the freezer! )
Place in the freezer for a few minutes or until the chocolate is set
And voila, a little slice of heaven.
