Chocolate Strawberry Flowers
An impressive-looking but very easy treat.
Servings 8 flowers
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone mat
- microwave or double boiler for melting chocolate chips
Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries, washed and patted dry
- 1 banana
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips or other melting chocolate
Sprinkles of choice (choose one or multiple)
- slivered almonds
- crushed pistachios
- hemp seeds
- chopped walnuts
- chopped pumpkin seeds
- chopped pecans
- shredded coconut
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone mat.
- Cut the stems out of the strawberries and slice them into even slices to create a petal-shape. Peel and cut the banana into slices that are 1/4 inch thick or thinner.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for about 60 seconds, stir until smooth. Or, use a double boiler on the stove.
- Spoon 8 thin, flat circles of chocolate onto the lined baking sheet, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Put one slice of banana into the center of each circle.
- Press strawberry slices around the banana center, creating a flower shape.
- Drizzle a little more chocolate on top of the banana and the center of the strawberries. Then sprinkle any chopped nuts or "sprinkles" of choice.
- Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, until chocolate is hard. Then transfer to the fridge so the fruit doesn't freeze rock hard. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
- They are so yummy!!!
