Cómo preparar Chocolate Ginger Lychees
- Prepare the Lychees: If using canned lychees, drain them thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Fresh lychees should be peeled and pitted.
- Stuff with Ginger: Generously fill each lychee with finely chopped crystallized ginger. The amount of ginger is to your preference; the more, the spicier!
- Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 6 ounces (170g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening. Stir gently until smooth and completely melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Dip and Set: Dip each stuffed lychee into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift the lychee and gently tap off any excess chocolate. Place the coated lychees on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate and Decorate: Refrigerate the lychees for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the set lychees to create a decorative pattern. Return to the refrigerator until serving.
