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:
