For my twin grandson’s Birthday Party this Memorial Day Weekend, I have been asked to bring my chocolate dipped strawberries, pineapple, and peanut butter crackers!
Mine are never perfect to look at..but boy do they taste good!
Of course the secret to great tasting dipped fruit is to have good ripe fruit. Even a wonderful chocolate can’t make hard unripe pinapple or strawberry taste good!
Happy Birthday Kingston and Xavier! Grandma loves you boys!
Graham Cracker Trifle
Adapted from Southern Livings Cookie Trifle
Take 1 pint of heavy whipping cream and heat about 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream in microwave about 40 seconds. Do not boil!
Divide cream in half and place about 4 ounces white chocolate chips in one half and 4 ounces chocolate chips in other half.
Stir until the chips are melted.
Whip the remaining whipping cream until peaks form.
Place half the peaked cream with the melted chocolate, and the other half in the white chocolate.
Prepare a springform pan with crushed chocolate graham crackers covering bottom of pan.
Place a light layer of the chocolate cream around the edge of pan so you can place more crackers up the sides of pan without them falling over.
Pour the white chocolate cream into the pan. Pour the chocolate cream onto the top and spread into a circle with a spoon.
Cover and refrigerate about an hour. To serve remove the pan side and sprinkle more graham cracker crumbs over top.
