Dubai Chocolate Strawberries

We were on a small family trip in Dubai, and honestly, I didn’t even plan to cook anything special that day, and the kitchen in the hotel was way too pretty to ignore, and you know that feeling when you just want to try something even if you are not sure it will work

It’s funny, isn’t it, how food can suddenly become the best part of a holiday and not the sightseeing or the fancy malls, but something sweet you make with your own hands

I remember I bought a box of fresh strawberries from a small shop nearby, and I was thinking I’ll just eat them as they are, but then I saw chocolate in the kitchen, and I said, ” Okay, why not? Let’s try something a bit crazy

First try, I completely messed it up, and I literally burnt the chocolate, and it got thick and weird, and I just stood there like, really me again, typical me, honestly

Have you ever tried to make something simple, and it just turns into a small disaster before it becomes something good? If not, you’re in the right place because this recipe has that kind of story.

So I melted the chocolate again slowly this time, and I dipped the strawberries one by one, and I was honestly shocked at how something so simple could look like a fancy dessert from a luxury hotel
