Champagne Grilled Fruit Brochettes with Chambord Fudge Sauce
Servings: 6 Prep: 15 minutes — Cook: 10 minutes
 


Grilled Fruit Brochettes Gingered Peach Crisp  


Brochette is the French word for skewer. In this recipe, marinated fresh fruit is threaded onto skewers and lightly grilled. Any inexpensive champagne or sparkling wine will do well for the fruit marinade. The tempting sauce is made with Chambord, a sweet, berry-flavored liqueur that pairs well with chocolate.

 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

Fruit:
24 small fresh strawberries
1/2 canteloupe melon
1/2 honeydew melon
1 cup pink champagne
Sauce:
1/4 cup heavy cream
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chambord liqueur
Assembly:
12 wooden skewers
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
 



METHOD

Wash the strawberries and remove hulls and green tops; place in a large mixing bowl. Using a melon baller, make balls from both melons and combine with strawberries. Add champagne and toss to coat fruit, adding more if desired.

While fruit marinates, prepare the chocolate sauce. Melt the chocolate with the heavy cream and liqueur in a double boiler coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick over boiling water. Stir until chips are melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Skewer the fruit, alternating the strawberries and melon. Coat the grill with non-stick cooking oil spray and cook fruit skewers for about 30 seconds on each side. Or, grill the fruits in your oven/broiler. Place the marinated fruit skewers on a baking sheet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Broil at least 4 inches from the heat for about 45 seconds on one side and 30 seconds on the other. Swirl the chocolate sauce onto individual dessert plates and place 2 skewers on top; garnish with a sprig of mint.
