Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

From The South Beach Diet Phase 2
In the mood for something sweet? No problem! The South
Beach Diet Online has tons of recipes for delicious
desserts. This one combines juicy fiber- and nutrient-rich
strawberries with decadent dark chocolate — a delightful
source of antioxidants!

Serves 2

2 squares (1 oz each) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 Tbsp fat-free whipping cream
Dash almond extract
8 strawberries

Combine the chocolate and the whipping cream in a glass measuring cup
or bowl. Microwave at medium power for 1 minute or until the chocolate
melts, stirring after 30 seconds. Stir in the almond extract and cool
slightly.

Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to
drip off. Place on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate
or freeze for approximately 15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
