Formal Fruit

I don’t really have a recipe for these. All you need is some dairy free dark chocolate and dairy free white chocolate (I used Sweet William brand for both today which is found in the health food aisle of many supermarkets and in health food stores), some lovely big strawberries and a just a little too much time on your hands 🙂

All you do is pop a piece of baking paper on your bench. Melt your white chocolate and holding the green tops of each strawberry, dip the entire fruit into white chocolate. Be careful to scrape all the excess from the bottom of the strawberry against the chocolate bowl before you lay it on the baking paper. Repeat until all strawberries are covered. Allow the white chocolate to set. I usually pop them in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.

Then just melt your dark chocolate and one by one dip the strawberries into the chocolate on their left side and then on their right side, leaving a white chocolate triangle visible at the front of each strawberry. Once again scrape all the excess from the bottom of the strawberry against the chocolate bowl before you lay it on the baking paper. Repeat till all are done and allow the chocolate to set.

Then pipe little buttons and bow ties onto each strawberry and serve.

Simple but sweet 🙂
