Frozen Fruit with Hot White Chocolate

Hagen Wegerer, owner and head chef at Cactus Blue on the Caribbean island Bonaire, delights his guests with this fruit and chocolate desserts. It’s cool and simple and beautiful. “Frozen Fruit with Hot White Chocolate is one of the more popular desserts at Cactus Blue,” says Chef Wegerer.

“I have a great supply of frozen wild berries—cranberries, blue berries, raspberries and black berries—which make for a very tart combination.

“Melt equal quantities of white chocolate and heavy full cream together in a bowl over simmering water. The two ingredients blend beautifully.

“Place a nice amount of berries onto the corner of your dessert plate and sprinkle some powder sugar over it.  Pour the hot white chocolate either into a small ramekin or directly onto the plate and serve to your friends. The combination of tart cold fruit and hot sweet chocolate is too much!”
