Desserts are the last course of a meal. It is usually sweet, but can be strong, in the case of cheeses. The word dessert is commonly used in the US, Canada, Australia, Ireland and France. In the UK, and some other commonwealth countries it is called: afters, sweet, or pudding.
Before sugar became cheap and readily available, fruits and nuts used to be eaten for desserts. There are many types of desserts.
Here is this week’s recipe:
Black and White Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
1/2 cup white chocolate pieces
1/2 cup milk chocolate pieces
20 whole fresh strawberries, rinsed, patted dry, stems left on
1. Place white chocolate pieces in a small heavy saucepan; melt slowly over low heat. Cool slightly and transfer to a small deep bowl.
2. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Holding onto the stem end, dip strawberries one at a time in the white chocolate three-quarters of the way up to the stem. Place apart on wax paper and refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, slowly melt milk chocolate in a small heavy saucepan. Remove strawberries from the refrigerator and dip in the milk chocolate, leaving part of the white chocolate showing. Return to the refrigerator to chill. Serve chilled.
Makes 4 servings.
