Chocolate- & Biscotti-Dipped Strawberries
This easy to make recipe is Low Calorie, Low Carb, Low Sodium, Low Sat Fat, and Heart Healthy!
Makes about 24 pieces.
Time: 20 minutes
1 large almond or hazelnut biscotti
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 pints strawberries, washed and dried
Crush biscotti in a food processor or with a rolling pin. Melt chocolate over a pan of hot water. Holding on to the stem, dip each strawberry in chocolate to coat about half the strawberry, then dip into biscotti crumbs. Place on a wire rack until chocolate has hardened.
NUTRITION INFORMATION: Per piece: 28 calories; 2 g fat (1 g sat, 0 g mono); 0 mg cholesterol; 4 g carbohydrate; 0 g protein; 1 g fiber; 3 mg sodium. Nutrition bonus: Vitamin C (25% daily value).
If you don’t count callories, I would recommend to buy the mix and make Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes (Two Pack) – come out just like in the restaurants.
