- Place strawberries and lemon juice in mixing bowl then chop 20 sec/speed 5. Transfer 2 Tbsp strawberry purée to each hole of Nester, reserving remaining strawberry purée in fridge. Place Nester in freezer for 2 hours. Meanwhile, clean and dry mixing bowl.
- After freezing time, place chocolate in mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula then melt 4 min/50°C/speed 1.5. Remove Nester from freezer, cover each hole with melted chocolate then sprinkle with ½ remaining pistachios. Return to freezer for a further 2-3 hours.
