An easy, funny and healthy idea to surprise your Mom on Mother’s day
{Fruit salad and chocolate bowl}
Ingredients:
- Marinated strawberries:
- 300 g strawberries, washed
- the juice of one lemon
- 2 tbs honey
- 1 thyme spring
- 250 g dark chocolate
- 6 balloons, washed (never thought I would write this in a recipe) and filled with air
Chocolate bowls:
Directions:
- Mix lemon juice, honey, and thyme spring, and pour over the strawberries. Mix well, and let the strawberries marinate for at least one hour (can be made the day before).
- Melt chocolate in the microwave, and let it cool for a while, until it is not warm to the touch any more. This step cannot be overlooked, I am sure you prefer to avoid the experience of having a “chocolate explosion” at home.
- Line a cookie or baking sheet with paper parchment. Spoon 1 teaspoon melted chocolate onto the prepared pan to form a small circle. Repeat with remaining chocolate and balloons, and let them set
- If room temperature is too hot, you may place in the refrigerator to set, about 1 hour.
- Take a scissors, and cut the balloons at the top, you do not want them to explode, you just want to slowly let the air out (remember, chocolate explosion might occur!).
- Release ballons from the chocolate, and serve filled with strawberries salad, or your favourite fruit salad
- Alternatively, you may use the chocolate bowls to present truffles, creams, mousses, icecream,…
