Before we got married, my wife and I used to celebrate our
dating anniversary. We started dating in
May of 1999, and this weekend marks our 14th year together. After we got married, we stopped noticing our
dating anniversary and just focused on our actual wedding
anniversary. This year, however, I am
going to surprise my wife by celebrating our dating anniversary and so for my
blog entry this week, I will show you how to make chocolate dipped
strawberries. This dessert is very
simple, quick and easy and looks luxurious!
Chocolate dipped strawberries
Ingredients
Ingredients
100g white chocolate (bars, wafers or chocolate chips)
100g milk or dark chocolate (bars, wafers or chocolate
chips)
1lb fresh strawberries
(I found some 2lb strawberry packs on sale, so I doubled up
for the recipe)
Wash strawberries and pat dry
Make a double boiler by filling a pot 1/3rd the
way with water. Put a smaller dry pot or
metal bowl inside that pot. Heat on med
heat. *note* do NOT heat chocolate in pot directly over stove heat, it will
cause the oils in the chocolate to separate unevenly and it will get gritty and
difficult to work with.
Break up chocolate and place in double boiler, stir until
melted
Take strawberries by the leafy stem and dip into the melted
chocolate about ¾ of the way
Place dipped strawberries on wax paper to cool
Time to pour the champagne, put on a Marvin Gaye CD and enjoy!
