In the mood for something sweet? No problem! The South Beach Diet
has tons of recipes for delicious desserts. This one combines
juicy fiber- and nutrient-rich strawberries with decadent dark
chocolate — a delightful source of antioxidants!
2 squares (1 oz each) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 Tbsp fat-free whipping cream
Dash almond extract
8 strawberries
Combine the chocolate and the whipping cream in a glass measuring
cup or bowl. Microwave at medium power for 1 minute or until the
chocolate melts, stirring after 30 seconds. Stir in the almond
extract and cool slightly.
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing the
excess to drip off. Place on a baking sheet lined with waxed
paper. Refrigerate or freeze for approximately 15 minutes until
the chocolate is set.
