I’ve been making admirable attempts to salvage as many of these lovelies as possible. Naturally, I’ve been having pot after pot of strawberry-themed porridges. Duh! Yesterday, I whipped up a strawberry sorbet (which was delicious, if I do say so myself). This morning, I made this sauce!
Like always, I had the recipe planned out in my head, so I executed it as planned and gave it a taste. Whew! It was tart, mixed with bitter, and not pleasantly so. I caved and added some honey. Massive improvement. I thought the strawberries would have naturally sweetened the sauce, but I forgot that strawberries do not have the same kind of sweetness as, say, bananas or apples. You could probably try soaking a date or two and blending that into the sauce instead, but I don’t have any dates at the moment. 🙂
What you'll need:
- 3 fresh strawberries, hulled
- 2 tsp cocoa powder
- 2 tsp water or milk of choice
- 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
- pinch of salt
How to make it:
- Combine all ingredients in a small blender until pureed.
- Heat up sauce in the microwave for 10 seconds, stir, and microwave for another 10 seconds. Pour over your favorite oatmeal recipe, and enjoy!
