Recipe
Black and White Strawberries
By Weight Watchers Staff
You?ve probably seen chocolate-dipped fruit in elegant restaurants and expensive gourmet shops, but do you know how easy they are to make? Our version uses semisweet and white chocolate for a dramatic presentation.
Makes 4 servings
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons semisweet
chocolate chips
1½ teaspoons raspberry liqueur (framboise)
1½ teaspoons water
8 large strawberries, with stems
½ ounce white chocolate, chopped, or 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
1. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. In a small microwavable bowl, combine the chocolate chips, liqueur, and water; microwave on High, stirring twice, until melted and smooth, about 1½ minutes. Holding a berry by the hull, dip the berry halfway into the chocolate; set on the wax paper. Repeat with the remaining berries and chocolate.
2. In another small microwavable bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave on High, stirring once, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle over the strawberries. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens. Serve chilled.

Tip:
Try this with other fruits, too: Grapes, orange sections, apple or pear wedges, or banana chunks (soak the apples, pears, or bananas for a minute or two in a mixture of lemon juice and water to prevent browning). It?s also delicious with fat-free pretzels.
