My adult kids stayed the night for Easter. I did buy the obligatory bits of chocolate for them, but didn't get around to eggs.... surprising because we always have 4-5 dozen in the fridge. But as I look around the room, I'm seeing eggs peeking out from behind the mirror and in the light. Because they are pasture eggs, they come in colors ranging from pale blue to dark brown, so they didn't have to dye them.
Friday I discovered that Lindt Excellence makes a 99% cocoa bar. It's very very strong dark chocolate. I love it! It's something may have to work up to, and it's not something you can eat pounds of at one sitting. I found a great use for it: chopped up in a Quick Strawberry "Sorbet".
Quick Berry Chocolate Sorbet
4 cups frozen strawberry slices
6 squares Lindt 99%
Let the strawberries thaw for 15-30 minutes, or put them in a microwave safe bowl and zap for a minute or 2. Using an immersion blender or food processor, process until smooth and creamy. Break up the chocolate into small pieces and mix into the berries. Serves 4.
