A few years ago, I tasted what is probably one of my favorite desserts ever!  Strawberries with Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar. It is an unlikely pair that really is one of the best combinations of tastes in the world!  The bold, rich dark chocolate balsamic vinegar draws out the sweetness of the strawberries, enhancing its color as well.  The flavors are complex, but the process to make it is ridiculously simple. Serve alone or  over ice cream, frozen yogurt, or even gooey, chocolatey brownies.  I promise you…..  this is one greatest things your mouth will ever taste!

A bit about why Dark Chocolate Balsamic Vinegar works so well in this dessert…..

True balsamic vinegar is made from Trebbiano Grapes.  A complex flavor is created when the cooked grape juice is aged in wooden casks.  The addition of dark chocolate enhances the rich, sweetness of the vinegar.  The acidity of the vinegar softens the strawberries and allows them to soak in the flavor. A dream for your taste buds……. Think about how all these flavors meld together and compliment each other.

Here’s what you need to make 4 servings of strawberries:

Here’s what you do:

  1. Slice the strawberries into bite sized pieces,  Add to a glass bowl.
  2. Add in the vinegar.  Stir well.
  3. Sprinkle with brown sugar if desired
  4. Cover and store in refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving.  I leave mine sit and marinate overnight to really absorb all the flavor.
  5. Serve alone, or over anything of your choice…. I chose to make Glutino brownies and serve them on top. To make them, follow the directions on the box!
