We love strawberries in our household and of course, we love white chocolate as well...so this was always on the cards. It is pretty, not too fussy, though it does sound trickier than it is. Follow the instructions, and you cannot go wrong. This recipe has been around for quite a while but we have done a revamp and we still love it!
If you would like some nutritional reassurance about making this dessert, let me give you this info...strawberries are rich in antioxidants, like vitamin C and anthocyanins, which contribute to a strong immune system and may reduce inflammation. Their high fiber content supports digestive health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, the presence of various vitamins and minerals in strawberries promotes skin health and contributes to overall well-being. (SO good for you!)
