Fresh Fruit with choice of Hazelnut, Chocolate, and Caramel Dipping Sauce
December 20th, 2015Why is this recipe on a health website? I mentioned in my blog about rewarding yourself that treats are an integral part of our culture. I don’t intend this delicious recipe to be part of your daily diet, but it is a great idea for an office birthday party or a dessert around the holidays. You can make this in less time than it takes to bake a batch of cookies, and it looks beautiful and fresh.
Fresh cut pineapple slices (triangles)
Strawberries sliced in half
Melon balls
Banana cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
Bamboo barbecue skewers
Hazelnut spread
Chocolate sauce (found in the ice cream topping section of your grocery store)
Caramel sauce
Put the hazelnut spread, chocolate sauce, and caramel into small bowls. You can even heat them in the microwave for a quick 30 seconds to make them smoother for dipping. Make skewers of the fruit and arrange them around the plate. Be creative with different fruits in season like figs, mangoes, peaches, or kiwis. You can also try variations on the dipping sauces, like adding raspberry jam to the chocolate sauce or having a small dish with sea salt on the side so that you can sprinkle some on top of the dipped fruit. My favorite is caramel dipped apples with sea salt sprinkles.
