Ingredients- 15 fresh strawberries
- 1 ripe banana
- 100g couverture dark chocolate
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your fresh strawberries. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of vinegar with water and soak the 15 strawberries for about 5 minutes. This gentle cleaning method helps sanitize them and enhances their freshness.
Step 2
After soaking, drain the strawberries thoroughly in a colander to remove excess water. Then, carefully trim off the green tops (hulls). Removing the hulls makes it much easier to coat the strawberries in chocolate.
Step 3
Peel the ripe banana and slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 cm thick. Aim for pieces that are substantial enough not to break apart when dipped, but easy to handle.
Step 4
Thread the prepared strawberries and banana slices onto skewers, alternating them for a colorful presentation. This makes them easy to dip and serve.
Step 5
Now, let’s melt the chocolate. Fill a shallow pan with a moderate amount of water and place a smaller heatproof bowl on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water directly. Add the 100g of couverture dark chocolate to the bowl. Set the heat to medium-low (around 5-6 on an induction cooktop) and gently melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally. This double-boiling (bain-marie) method is key to preventing the chocolate from scorching and achieving a smooth consistency.
Step 6
Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, dip the fruit skewers into the chocolate, coating them generously. If the chocolate doesn’t cover the fruit sufficiently, use a spoon to drizzle or spread the melted chocolate evenly over the fruit. Ensure each piece is well-coated for the best flavor experience.
Step 7
Here’s another delightful way to enjoy your strawberry banana chocolate fondue: dip crunchy cookies or chewy gummies into the melted chocolate as well! Get creative and explore different flavor combinations.
