Chocolate Dipped Strawberries White (Printable Version)
Lush strawberries coated in dark chocolate finished with a white chocolate drizzle for an elegant treat.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 20 large fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried, stems intact
→ Dark Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz high-quality dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), chopped
→ White Chocolate Drizzle
03 - 2 oz white chocolate, chopped
# Step-by-Step:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Verify strawberries are completely dry to ensure proper chocolate adhesion.
02 - In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water using a double boiler method, or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring continuously until smooth and fully melted.
03 - Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip into the melted dark chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Refrigerate the dipped strawberries for 10–15 minutes until the dark chocolate coating is completely set.
05 - Melt the white chocolate using the same double boiler or microwave method, stirring until smooth and pourable.
06 - Transfer melted white chocolate to a small piping bag or use a spoon to drizzle decorative patterns over the set dark chocolate strawberries.
07 - Return strawberries to the refrigerator for 10 minutes until the white chocolate drizzle is firm. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
