What a great surprise to pull out of the refrigerator for your romantic dinner for two. Even a tender nibble brings the sweet juices of cherry, strawberry, or raspberry, encased in the thin waiting sheath of dark chocolate.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
What is it about chocolate and red fruit that seems so decadent? Maybe it\u2019s the balance between the fruit\u2019s quick sweetness with chocolate\u2019s long lasting, brain-altering addictions that so resemble love itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Like love, at once bitter and sweet, held together in one irresistible package. Like love, taken to satisfy more the soul than the body.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You\u2019ll Need <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
3 1-ounce squares semi-sweet chocolate <\/span><\/div>\n
3 tablespoons cream<\/span><\/div>\n
3 tablespoons dry sherry<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00bd teaspoon vanilla<\/span><\/div>\n
1 pinch of salt<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
in a saucepan<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Over low heat, slowly melt the chocolate with the cream, sherry, vanilla, and salt, stirring gently all the while.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Allow these to warm into each other for a minute after the chocolate has completely melted. Taste to correct the flavors.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Once it becomes irresistible, dunk the fruit into the chocolate to coat. Keep the coating light.\u00a0\u00a0 Remove these to a small plate and place in the refrigerator to cool until ready to serve.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
COOKING NOTES:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Like the eating, take your time in the making over a steady simmering flame to ensure the chocolate doesn\u2019t burn.\u00a0Careful when turning the fruit over, especially if using delicate berries like raspberries. They are easily crushed.\u00a0The thickness of the chocolate shell will depend on the thickness of the chocolate sauce and the number of times you dunk the fruit. Spot-check the thickness after the first dunking and make a judgment call.<\/span><\/div>\n
