Description
Juicy, sweet strawberries dipped in smooth chocolate for a simple, elegant treat perfect for parties, gifts, or indulgent evenings.
Ingredients
1 lb fresh strawberries (washed and dried thoroughly)
8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
Optional: 2 oz white chocolate (for drizzling)
Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure strawberries are completely dry.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating about three-quarters of the fruit. Let excess drip off.
- Place dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional: Melt white chocolate and drizzle over strawberries. Add toppings like nuts or coconut while chocolate is still wet.
- Refrigerate strawberries for 20–30 minutes until chocolate sets.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Make sure strawberries are completely dry to ensure chocolate sticks properly.
Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
Decorate with themed toppings for special occasions.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
Do not freeze, as thawing changes texture.
