Step by step preparation of grapes in chocolate and coconut:
1. Crush the chocolate into pieces and place them in a dry, clean container. Send it to a water bath or microwave and melt it. At the same time, make sure that it does not boil, otherwise the product will irrevocably deteriorate and acquire bitterness. Remove the berries from the vine, wash and dry well, since chocolate flows from wet fruits. I draw your attention to the fact that fruits should be at room temperature, because on cold grapes, the icing will quickly harden and will have an uneven coating. Dip the berries in melted chocolate.
2. Using a skewer or toothpick, rotate the berries until they are evenly glazed. Immediately after the chocolate, swirl the berries in the coconut so they can stick. Since the shavings do not adhere well to slightly frozen chocolate.
3. Do the same for all the berries and place them on foil or parchment paper. Send them to the refrigerator for literally half an hour so that the chocolate hardens well. Such a dessert is stored in the refrigerator for a short time, about a day. Since at the junction of the stalk and berries, black spots will form, which over time will begin to rot. At the same time, be careful that if the berry deteriorates, then you will not see it under the layer of chocolate.
