You can cook fruits in chocolate for a holiday with your family, for the arrival of guests or for a romantic meeting. Joint creativity in the design of this delicious and healthy dessert together with children will bring mutual pleasure.

Fruit

Fruit for dessert can be anything. Strawberries, cherries, large grapes, apples, pears are obtained beautifully and tasty. Strawberries, apples, pears are covered with chocolate whole or cut into slices. Tropical pineapples or kiwis are cut into slices, mangoes into slices. Bananas - cylinders, circles, halves. Oranges and tangerines are divided into slices before being dipped in melted chocolate.

Before cooking, the fruit must be washed and dried well. Chocolate will drip from wet fruit. If necessary, peel the fruit. If such a dessert is prepared for adults, then you can pour strawberries or cherries in advance for a day or a week or two with liquor or cognac. Berries and fruits before "bathing" in chocolate should be at room temperature. If they are cold, the chocolate will harden on them too quickly and the coating will be uneven.

Fruits and berries are dipped in melted chocolate, fastened on a confectionery or dinner fork, on skewers, toothpicks, cocktail tubes or long wooden sticks. They are dipped one at a time into the chocolate and rotated so that the coating is even.

Put a baking sheet or other flat dish covered with culinary parchment in advance. Chocolate-covered fruits are stacked there. You can decorate fruits by dipping them in crushed nuts, coconut flakes, confectionery colored sprinkles. You can dry fruits on sticks by placing them in the holes of an inverted colander or in a wide vase. When serving, they can be stuck into the halves of an apple or grapefruit.

Chocolate

Fruits in chocolate recipe involves the use of any chocolate - black, white or milk. Fruits in dark chocolate, painted with thin stripes or a mesh of white chocolate, look attractive. Drawings are applied to the frozen first layer. Melt the chocolate in a water bath.

Melting chocolate - how to do it right

Crush the chocolate into pieces and place them in a dry, clean cup.

Place the container with chocolate on a pot of boiling water so that the water and the bottom of the bowl do not touch each other.

Steam or condensation must also not come into contact with the chocolate. Otherwise, the chocolate will thicken a lot.

The temperature of chocolate should not exceed 38-40 ° C, so it is not recommended to speed up the heating process. If the chocolate is heated too quickly, when the chocolate hardens, an ugly white coating will “appear” on its surface.
You need to gently stir the chocolate until it is completely dissolved.

Fruits in chocolate

Recipe

The recipe is actually very simple and the process itself is more important. For this dessert you will need:

• fruit
• chocolate bar (or more)
• optional - nuts, coconut flakes

I described the general list of ingredients, and everyone will be able to decide for themselves which fruits to choose and which chocolate to use - black, milk or white. To decorate the dish, we may need long sticks or paper forms. (for cupcakes, sweets, pralines, muffins).

Cooking

• We wash, if necessary, cut and dry the fruit thoroughly
• Preparing coconut flakes or nuts to decorate fruits
• Break into small pieces and melt the chocolate until liquid.
• Dip whole fruits or pieces of them in chocolate
• If desired, decorate - dip in chopped nuts or coconut
• Putting dessert on a plate
• Place in refrigerator until chocolate hardens

Fruit

When choosing fruits for this dessert, rely on your taste. Before cooking, they must be washed, if necessary, peeled and dried well. If there is water on the fruits, then the chocolate can simply “float” off them.

Strawberries, sliced ​​bananas, pineapples or kiwis, large grapes or cherries are very tasty and beautiful. Fresh fruits can be replaced, for example, with dried apricots or prunes - you get very tasty sweets.

If such a dessert is not prepared for children, then you can first pour fruits (preferably strawberries) with liquor or wine and leave it for a day.

Chocolate

Choose your favorite chocolate - black, milk or white. Fruits in black chocolate look very nice, on top of which a white mesh is “painted”. (the second layer of chocolate is applied after the first has hardened).

You can melt chocolate or in a water bath or in the microwave. Into the microwave set to the most minimal mode, I melted one bar of chocolate for 10 minutes per 100 watts. If we melt chocolate in a water bath, then be careful - the fire should be small, and the bowl of chocolate should not reach the water in the pan.

The number of options for serving this delicious dessert depends only on your imagination. Every time you can come up with something new, interesting and delightful. Let's surprise guests with a bouquet of chocolate-covered strawberries, or elegant tuxedos made of strawberries, black and white chocolate.

To serve fruits on sticks, you need to take care in advance where to put them - in a glass, a small vase or stick into a half of a large apple / orange.

Alternatively, we can serve fruit on a stick along with a fruity milkshake. One of my notes says . A great way to surprise friends and please kids with a sweet tooth.
