Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Chocolate and strawberries are such a delicious combination.  I've purchased 16 punnets of strawberries in the last two weeks to support the local farmers. The strawberries have all been eaten fresh or dipped in chocolate.  I have dipped many punnets of strawberries to eat and as gifts for friends.  They make awesome gifts and take no time to make. Chocolate Dipped Strawberries are so easy and fun to make.  All you need is to melt your favourite chocolate and cover those strawberries. To make them pretty, just drizzle more chocolate over them and add sprinkles. This week I dipped some strawberries in white chocolate and added sprinkles and they look so pretty and tasted delicious. Hope you get a chance to buy some strawberries and dip away. Happy Baking xo Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Ingredients · Dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate · Sprinkles Instructions 1.

Lemon Creme Delight

If you are looking to make an easy and delicious dessert then this is definitely the one for you. I wanted to use my homemade lemon curd in a dessert that was yummy but not too rich.  So I came up with this simple recipe. These Lemon Creme Delights are made of delicious layers of biscuit crumb, lemon curd and lemon curd cream.  The bottom layer starts with a lovely buttery biscuit crumb, followed by a touch of lemon curd throughout the next layer and finally topped with the lemon curd cream and fresh berries.  Every spoonful is delicious as you can taste all the different layers of goodness. It is an easy and fun dessert to make and serve at your next dinner party.
