Fruits in chocolate
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Today, I've chosen mango, peach, and banana for my dessert. But don't limit yourself to just these fruits—use any that you like. The idea of the recipe is to melt the chocolate until smooth, then dip chilled fruit pieces that have been washed and prepared beforehand. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the pieces on parchment paper or a silicone mat, chill in the refrigerator, and taste! I'm against using the freezer—yes, the chocolate hardens quickly, but then a white coating forms on it due to the drastic temperature change. Serve the finished dessert right away.

Step 1
Prepare the fruits and chocolate. You'll also need a silicone mat or white parchment paper (silicon-coated, so nothing sticks to it and it won't get soggy). The fruits should be chilled; I usually leave them in the refrigerator overnight. If that's not possible, place the cut fruits in the freezer for a while—this way the hot chocolate will adhere better. You'll also need two bamboo skewers or small forks.

Place the chocolate on a plate and put it in the microwave for 1 minute.

Step 3
Mix well; the chocolate should melt by then. If it's too thick, add a little butter or a spoonful of cream.

Step 4
Peel the mango, cut the flesh away from the pit, and slice into pieces. Remove the pit from the peach and cut into slices. Peel the banana and slice into thick rounds.

Step 5
Skewer a slice of mango on a stick, dip it in chocolate either fully or partially—I prefer partially, so you can see which fruit you'd like to try. Use a second stick or a fork to place the mango onto parchment paper.
