Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries with Roasted Almonds and Sea Salt

 

Summer is here and this dessert is easy, light, fresh and not to mention it's Diary free, Gluten Free and Grain Free!!  I'm also wild about Sea Salt so these have a burst of sweet, crunch and salt to bring out the flavour of the chocolate.

 

 

 

Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries with Roasted Almonds and Sea Salt:

1 package of Strawberries (or better yet picked from your backyard or from a local Market!)

1 cup dark chocolate chips or 1 dark Lindt chocolate bar broken in pieces

1/4 cup roasted almonds

Sea Salt (large crystal)

 

Step #1:

Wash Strawberries under cold water and dry (air or pat dry)

 

Step #2

Using a double boiler, boil 2 inches of water in the pot and add chocolate to the top boil

Note: (A double boiler is a pot that holds hot water, and a bowl that fits  over the saucepan (where you put the chocolate). This allows the chocolate to melt indirect heat with a smooth consistency. If you don’t own a double boiler, any metal or glass bowl that fits  over the top of a saucepan can be used.)

 

Step #3

Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.  Roll each Strawberry in chocolate.  Near the end you can use a spoon to coat the strawberries.   Place on the cookie sheet.

 

Step #4

Sprinkle almonds over strawberries on the cookie sheet

 

Step #5

Wait 5 minutes for chocolate to cool and sprinkle/crack sea salt for a garnish
