Hi Mel,
I figured out a recipe for chocolate dipped strawberries that is really good, and I've had these several times with no symptoms. I didn't use organic chocolate, but I did use unsweetened chocolate from Trader Joe's that is just that...just chocolate with no other ingredients. I'm attaching pix of ingredients too.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
1 square of unsweetened chocolate (I used the Trader Joe's brand and am considering "one square" as one of the individually wrapped sections in the box)
Sweet Drops Stevia (or your favorite sweetener) to taste...I used five half droppers full
Washed whole strawberries
Directions:
Put coconut oil and chocolate square in a microwave safe bowl.
Cook on high for one minute, and then check it. The chocolate square will still hold it's shape even when it's melted...just stir it a little to see if it's melted, and if it's not, nuke it again for another 30 seconds.
Once melted, stir it up and add the sweetener at amount suggested above, or to taste.
Hold a strawberry by it's little green leaf "hat" and dip into chocolate. It helps to tip the bowl to the side a little to make the chocolate a bit deeper...then turn the strawberry to get the chocolate all around. Put completed strawberries on parchment paper or something else they won't stick to.
After they sit on the parchment for a bit (long enough to let the excess chocolate drain off), put them on a plate and put them in the refrigerator. The chocolate will get hard then and you'll have a plate full of happiness...enjoy! |
