Bol de chocolate con ensalada de fresas - Chocolate bowl

{Fruit salad and chocolate bowl}

Ingredients:

    Marinated strawberries:

  • 300 g strawberries, washed
  • the juice of one lemon
  • 2 tbs honey
  • 1 thyme spring
  • Chocolate bowls:

  • 250 g dark chocolate
  • 6 balloons, washed (never thought I would write this in a recipe) and filled with air

Directions:

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. If room temperature is too hot, you may place in the refrigerator to set, about 1 hour.
  5. 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!).
  6. Release ballons from the chocolate, and serve filled with strawberries salad, or your favourite fruit salad
  7. Alternatively, you may use the chocolate bowls to present truffles, creams, mousses, icecream,…
