Yesterday I watched the movie Julia and Julie. It was a cute movie, but I don't know about you, but I'm not that interested in making cooking that complicated. I think we all want to make great tasting and healthy meals as well as impress our friends with our cooking skills without it being complicated, time consuming or stressful. With the holiday season upon us we have enough stresses, so we could use a little help de-stressing in the cooking department.
If you're entertaining or bringing dessert to a holiday get together, here's a simple but impressive dessert - our Chocolate Dipped Strawberries featured on the DVD. They never fail to get raves when we serve them. And another nice thing they are do-ahead -always a benefit when entertaining.
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
20 strawberries with stems
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (if needed)
Cover cookie sheet with wax paper. Rinse strawberries, pat dry. Return them to the refrigerator to chill. When strawberries have chilled, melt the white and dark chocolate in 2 separate small pans or double boilers over very low heat, stirring constantly until melted. (If too thick, add a teaspoon of oil).
Holding on to the stem, dip the strawberry 3/4 of the way into the melted chocolate; set on cookie sheet.
For variety, after dipping the strawberry in one chocolate, drizzle a small amount of the other over the dipped strawberry. Return to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
