Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Break the bitter chocolate into pieces, put it in a saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring constantly so that nothing burns. Leave it to cool. What kind of chocolate to buy? Choose a product with a high cocoa content (about 70%). If you want, use milk or white chocolate. The main thing to remember is that the taste of the dessert will largely depend on the quality of the chocolate.
Step 2:
Wash, peel the selected fruits, be sure to dry them. Cut them into small slices, circles or cubes, as you like. Fruits can be any to your taste, for example, pears, apples, pineapples, mangoes, bananas, tangerines. In addition to fruits, you can use whole berries, for example, large grapes, strawberries, cherries. I had an orange, a peach, a kiwi and a melon.
Step 3:
Cut the fruit into portions, put them on skewers.
Step 4:
While you were cooking the fruit "barbecue", the chocolate cooled down a little. "Bathe" fruits on skewers in it, so that it covers the fruit slices on all sides. If desired, you can sprinkle chocolate on top with something (for example, coconut or almond chips, sesame seeds, chopped walnuts, confectionery sprinkles).
Step 5:
Next, you can put skewers with fruit on a plate (but then they can stick together). However, I stick the skewers into the foam or a large apple so that they stand rigidly and do not fall, then the pieces do not touch each other, and the chocolate does not smudge and does not stick together during solidification. Put the skewers in the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely solidified (usually 30 minutes is enough).
Chocolate can be melted in a water bath. To do this, put the container with chocolate pieces on a pot of boiling water, so that the bottom of the bowl does not come into contact with water. Melt over low heat with constant stirring.
Dessert option for adults. Pour the cherry liqueur or cognac, leave for a day, and then string on skewers.
How to decorate? On fruits in dark chocolate (after it hardens) you can draw strips of white chocolate with a cooking syringe and vice versa, if the fruit is frozen in white chocolate, apply a mesh of melted dark chocolate.
