Personally I don’t need any excuses to eat either chocolate or strawberries, so this decedant dessert is perfect for me…and I’d wager, some of you find the combination very appealing too!
What you need:
- 150g plain chocolate (dark or wholemilk) broken into pieces
- 200ml thick cream
- 15g butter
- 1-2 Tbsp Cointreau or Grand Marnier
- 1 large punnet of lush, ripe strawberries, long-stemmed if possible
What to do:
1. Place the chocolate, cream, butter and Cointreau or Grand Marnier in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and leave until the chocolate and butter have melted
2. Stir until mixed together and transfer to a small fondue bowl over a lit fondue heater.
3. Wash the strawberries and pat dry. Holding on to the stalks (or use fondue forks), dip them into the fondue.
