SweetHearts! (Post 1)

Hello!

Let me start this blog with something sweet! Today I am going to introduce the simplest yet tasty summer treat that I call it, a sweet heart!

Preparation time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 2-3 hours
Energy needed: 4 on a scale of 10

Let's go!


Fruits: Plums (4) Mangoes (1) (Both very ripe and mango juice would even work)
Chocolate: Dairy milk or Hershey's (1bar)
Equipment needed: a juicer, popsicles and a freezer

Procedure: 

  1. Take out the seed from the plums, taste them if they are sour
  2. If sour, add enough sugar but don't let the sourness die
  3. Peel and remove the pulp from mango 
  4. Make juice from the plums and mango separately using juicer and set aside
  5. Take the chocolate bar, make it two halves
  6. Grate one half of chocolate and cut the other half into smaller pieces
  7. Take the popsicle bowl and pour the plum juice to half of the container
  8. Add some chocolate pieces into it.
  9. Put them in the freezer for one hour without the stick (just the popsicle containers)
  10. After an hour remove the containers and make sure they are frozen hard enough
  11. Now add mango juice and chocolate pieces
  12. Take the grated chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat if for a minute or two (do not add even one drop of water) and set aside
  13. Take the popsicle sticks and coat them with melted chocolate generously
  14. Place the stick in the container and place in the freezer again.
  15. Take it out after an hour or two and taste the delicious
