Strawberry dipped in Chocolate
 
Strawberry dipped in Chocolate is simplest dessert. You can never go wrong with chocolate and strawberry.
Ingredients
1 cup (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 to 2 tsp. shortening
1 pint fresh strawberries, with green tops left on
Wash strawberries and drain on paper towels. It’s important that the strawberries be absolutely dry when dipping in chocolate. Just a droplet of water will ruin the batch.
In a saucepan over low heat or in a double boiler melt chocolate chips and shortening, stirring constantly until smooth.
Spear fruit with toothpicks or a bamboo skewer through the top; dip into the melted chocolate.
Place on waxed paper or stick toothpicks into a block of styrofoam to harden. Place, stem side down, on wire rack and chill in refrigerator until hardened.
My Son ,loved this ..will make again soon !!!
simply awesome!!! i tried it with a chocolate slab that i melted(microwave for 1 min)..was over in a jiffy
Great idea. Will it taste as good with chocolate sauce which we get ready made. What is a shortening
I use Shortening as substitute for butter.Shortening and butter are not the same thing, but they have similar properties and are used for similar things, like baking and frying. One is fat separated from cream, and the other is chemically hardened vegetable oil.
