Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 Bananas
- 2 Kiwis
- 12 Strawberries
Toppings
- 100 g White chocolate, grated (3.5 oz)
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven using the grill element to 480°F (250°C) to ensure it is hot enough to quickly grill the fruits and melt the white chocolate.
- Prepare the fruits: Peel the kiwis and bananas, then slice them along with the strawberries into bite-sized pieces, suitable for layering in the oven-safe dish.
- Layer the fruits: In an oven-safe dish, arrange the fruits in layers starting with the kiwi on the bottom, then the banana slices, and lastly the strawberries on top to create a colorful fruit bed.
- Add the white chocolate: Grate the white chocolate evenly over the layered fruits to ensure it melts and covers the top during grilling.
- Grill the fruits: Place the dish under the preheated grill element, watching carefully to avoid burning. Grill for about 3-5 minutes, or until the white chocolate turns golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve immediately: Remove the dish from the oven and serve the grilled fruit warm, ideally with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream to complement the flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh and ripe fruits for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Keep a close watch while grilling, as white chocolate melts fast and can burn quickly under high heat.
- Adjust grilling time based on your oven’s intensity; ovens vary in heat output.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to preserve the warm texture and melted chocolate.
- For a different twist, you can add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey before grilling.
