Toasted sesame seeds add extra crunch and a tasty surprise to this easy-to-eat dessert. Look for large strawberries with stems for the nicest presentation.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 15 minutes

Makes 10 (2-piece) servings

• 1/3 cup walnut pieces, finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

• 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate

• 2 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half

• 20 large strawberries with stems (about 2 pints), rinsed and dried

1. Heat oven to 275 degrees F.

2. Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and bake until fragrant and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

3. While nuts are toasting, place sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, gently shaking pan back and forth, until seeds are golden, about 5 minutes.

4. Allow nuts and seeds to cool, then mix together in a shallow bowl.

5. Heat chocolate and half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking until chocolate is melted, about 3 minutes.

6. Line a baking pan with wax paper.

7. Dip strawberries into chocolate (about three-quarters of the way in), then dip one side into nut and seed mixture, coating well. Place nut side up in baking pan.

8. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 15 minutes, and serve.

Make-Ahead: Walnuts and sesame seeds can be toasted up to 3 days ahead. Strawberries can be dipped up to 8 hours ahead. Carefully cover berries and refrigerate; do not freeze.
