This is a no-bake dessert in chocolate cups that can be found in the baking or chocolate section of most supermarkets. Ingredients:
8 ounces white chocolate, chopped |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
2 teaspoons lemon rind, finely grated |
1 cup whipping cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 1/2 cups strawberries |
2 teaspoons granulated sugar |
fresh lemon juice |
6 chocolate, cups (about 3-4-inches in diameter) |
lemon balm or mint leaf, for garnish |
Directions:
1. In top of a double boiler, or on low heat in the microwave, melt chocolate with nutmeg, stirring occasionally, just until nearly melted. Remove from heat and stir until completely melted. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in lemon rind. Let cool to room temperature.
2. Whip cream with vanilla until peaks form when beaters are lifted. Stir one-third into cooled chocolate. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
3. About 15 minutes before serving, slice large strawberries, and leave tiny ones whole; place in bowl. Stir in sugar and squeeze of lemon juice; let stand.
4. Scoop chocolate mixture into chocolate cups. Spoon strawberries and juices over top. Garnish with lemon balm or mint leaves, if using.
