Step-by-step preparation
1. Fruit preparation
Peel the mandarins carefully and separate the segments. It is essential to keep the pith (the thin skin that covers the segment), as it provides a very valuable amount of fiber so the dessert is truly healthy. Thread the segments onto the skewers attractively.
2. Melting the chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate and melt it in a small bowl, either in a bain-marie or in the microwave in short 30-second bursts to prevent it from burning. Once melted, stir in the Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 de Castelló well until you get a smooth, glossy mixture.
3. Coating and decorating
Partially dip the threaded segments in the melted chocolate or use a spoon to drizzle thin strands over the fruit. Immediately afterward, sprinkle the chopped pistachios and seeds on top so they stick before the chocolate hardens. Place on parchment paper until the chocolate is set.
🔪 Chef's Secrets
- Sweetness point: Using Stevia Castelló lets you enjoy a sweet dessert without raising the glycemic index, making it suitable for people with diabetes.
- Crunchy texture: Always use toasted nuts; this process not only improves the flavor, but also deactivates phytic acid and increases the bioavailability of the calcium present in pistachios.
- Creative variation: This technique works perfectly with other seasonal fruits such as pieces of banana, apple, pear, grapes, or even persimmon.
A healthy and eye-catching way to eat fruit at your parties, making sure your guests enjoy every bite.
