How to prepare Dried Fruit with Chocolate
Let’s start preparing the Dried Fruit with Chocolate, pour the dark chocolate into a bowl and melt it in the microwave or bain-marie.
Once melted, mix well to obtain smooth chocolate.
Add the mixed dried fruit or your preferred choice,
and mix well to combine it evenly with the melted chocolate.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and, using a tablespoon and a teaspoon, make small mounds that you will arrange on the tray. Use the spoon to scoop the chocolate-coated dried fruit
and, with the help of the teaspoon, remove it from the spoon and place it on the tray.
When you have made all the chocolate-dipped dried fruit mounds, sprinkle with pistachio crumbs.
Let it rest in a cold place or in the refrigerator so that the chocolate cools down.
When the chocolate is solid again, the dried fruit with chocolate is ready to be consumed.
How to store Dried Fruit with Chocolate
