Iced Berries With White Chocolate Sauce Recipes

ICED BERRIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pile the berries into pretty glasses or onto plates and freeze for 20 mins - press the fast-freeze button if you have one. The berries should become iced but not frozen solid.
• When ready, place the chocolate in a non-metallic bowl with the cream and microwave on High for 1 min. Check to see if it is soft enough to stir into a sauce, if not give it 30 secs, then stir again. Leave to cool slightly, stirring occasionally. To serve, pour the chocolate sauce over the iced berries.

FROZEN BERRIES WITH HOT WHITE CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate, heavy cream, and the vanilla in a heat-proof bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate melts.
• About 5 minutes before serving, remove the berries from the freezer and place them on individual serving plates. Ladle the warm chocolate sauce over the berries and serve.
• Yield: 8 to 10 servings
• Note: You can either buy frozen berries, or freeze your own by placing the berries on a flat tray in layer. When the berries are fully frozen, keep them a plastic bag in the freezer. Larger berries, such as strawberries, do not freeze well.

ICED BERRIES WITH HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce. Pour the cream into a small saucepan and break in the chocolate. Heat gently, stirring, until the chocolate melts into a smooth sauce. Take care not to overheat or the chocolate will seize into a hard lump. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum, if using.
• Scatter the frozen berries on 4 dessert plates or in shallow bowls. Pour the hot chocolate sauce over the fruits and serve immediately, as the fruits start to defrost.
