White Chocolate Strawberry Ghosts #SundaySupper

Sunithi Selvaraj, RD @ 28.10.2012 Coconut Cooking 30 comments

 

 

 

Strawberries dipped in a  mix of white chocolate and coconut with just a hint of coconut oil are a ” melt in mouth” delish  treat ! When my sunday supper team decided to do a trick or treat theme I knew this was wanted to make. I saw this recipe for strawberry ghosts in the “Taste Of Home” website and loved it. I made some modifications to the recipe. I added coconut oil instead of shortening. I also added shredded coconut flakes which gave the strawberries a nice rough aged ghostly look.  Added bonus they tasted great. Turned white chocolate into gourmet white chocolate. I got my kids involved which was great. My 9 yr old decorated the faces and was so proud of her efforts I didn’t have the heart to display the ones I decorated :) ! The best way to get the chocolate all smooth and to a dip consistency is to use a double boiler where the chocolate does not touch heat directly. I did not have a double boiler, so I made one. I put a shallow dish with water on the stove and heated it. I then put the chocolate in smaller dish and placed it in the pan with the boiling water. Worked great and I had my own double boiler. All in all, we had a great time making these treats and I hope you enjoy making them too !

 

 

 

Nutrition Wise !

One cup of strawberries contains over 13% of the RDA of dietary fiber which is so essential for so many things including keeping  digestion regular and curbing overeating  It is a low-calorie fruit bursting with Vitamin C . Coconut oil has healthy monounsaturated fats which do not stored by your body but get burnt as fuel for energy. Chocolate is just icing on anything you eat and when you add it to berries makes a decadent reasonably healthy dessert :) !

Ingredients ! Some good stuff here !

    Strawberries go so well with chocolate, and the coconut sounds really good! I might just skip the decoration and serve them to adults! Have a nice day Suni!

    OMG those are perfect for Halloween, and so easy to make. I can see my boys loving those. You can bet we’ll be making them this weekend. We may even add some chopped nuts to some to give a few of the ghosts some hair on top!

    These are going to be a god-send in my home, Sunithi. We are all candy lovers and despite our best efforts have really struggled with alternatives in the past! These look delicious and will be so much healtier than what we currently eat! Thank you so much.

    Thank you for your article (and please excuse me, English is not my mother tongue), do you write a second part to cover the subject entirety? In all cases, it’s a topical issue that will have to be treated in this way more often. Regards, Tom.
