Rainbow Fruit Skewers With Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Recipes

FRUIT SKEWERS

Steps:

• Using a skewer thread the strawberries, orange slices, kiwi, blackberries, grapes, and blueberries.
• Arrange them on a platter and serve.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• In a heat-proof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water, heat the cream and orange zest. Add the chocolate, coffee, orange liqueur, and corn syrup and stir constantly until the chocolate is just melted and smooth. Keep the chocolate warm in a fondue pot or in a glass bowl set over the simmering water. Serve the warm chocolate with a large plate of long stemmed strawberries for dipping.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• To make tempered chocolate, chop the chocolate into pieces and place 3/4 of it in a small glass bowl in a microwave for 20 seconds exactly. Stir the chocolate and continue to microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and shiny. Add the remaining 1/4 of the chocolate and stir until smooth. The chocolate should register 87 to 89 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
• Dip each strawberry into the tempered chocolate and place on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 2 minutes to set.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate and cream together in a bowl set over simmering water until just melted. Stir and remove from the heat. Dip each strawberry in the chocolate and set aside on waxed or parchment paper to dry.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Melt both the semisweet and white chocolate in separate glass bowls set over saucepans of simmering water or in the microwave. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Grab a strawberry and gently lay it on its side in the bowl of melted semisweet chocolate. Hold it by the stem and twist it so that it's mostly covered with chocolate. Gently lay it on its side on the sheet of parchment. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries.
• Let the strawberries sit at room temperature to set slightly, about 30 minutes. (If you're in a hurry, you may place them in the fridge.)
• Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small piping bag and drizzle stripes all over the chocolate on the strawberries--you can do any designs you like! Then store the strawberries in the fridge to set completely.
• Serve them on a pretty cake stand or pack them in a box or small bags for delivery.
