Recipe

Wash the prepared fruits like cherry tomatoes, black sapphire grapes, and mango thoroughly, then skewer them onto wooden sticks in your desired order.
Place the isomalt in a dry pan and turn on the heat to melt it until no granules are visible and it becomes completely transparent.
Once the isomalt syrup is fully melted, reduce or turn off the heat. Wait until the tiny bubbles on the surface settle and the syrup becomes smooth.
Using a spoon or similar utensil, lightly drizzle the bubble-free isomalt syrup over the fruit skewers to form a thin, even coating.
Immediately after coating, dip the skewers into the prepared cold ice water to instantly harden and crisp the outer syrup layer.

Clean and prepare the fruits, then skewer them firmly onto wooden sticks.
Melt the isomalt in a pan until transparent, then wait for the surface bubbles to subside.
Thinly drizzle the syrup over the fruit and immediately dip in ice water to set it cold and crispy.

Cooking tips

Isomalt does not affect insulin or teeth and has half the calories of sugar, but overconsumption may cause stomach pain or diarrhea, so only consume a moderate amount per day.
Only coat the fruit after the bubbles in the isomalt syrup have completely disappeared; this creates a thin, hard, glass-like, transparent coating without bubble marks.
If the fruit surface has any moisture, the hot syrup coating will not adhere properly and will peel off easily. Before cooking, thoroughly dry the fruit with a paper towel.
