Ingredient list for the chocolate pistachio strawberries
For about 20 strawberry bites:
- 1 3/4 ounces (50g) blanched pistachios
- 1 3/4 ounces (50g) milk chocolate for the coating
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the strawberries — do not remove the stalks. Prick a toothpick or a a small picnic skewers in the top of each strawberry.
2. Chop the pistachios finely with a knife. Don’t use your blender; the pistachios need to be coarsely chopped.
3. Chop the chocolate with a knife and melt it in the microwave or in a bain-marie. If you choose the microwave, proceed in small sequences of 20 seconds each; the chocolate should be melting but not too runny.
4. Dip each strawberry (halfway up only) first in chocolate, then in chopped pistachios. Roll well so the pistachios stick properly.
5. Lay your strawberry bites progressively on parchment paper or a plate. Keep cool until ready to serve.
Tip: You can also serve your chocolate and pistachio strawberry bites with a strawberry sorbet.
