Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Printable)

Fresh strawberries coated in dark chocolate with a delicate white chocolate drizzle, ideal for special occasions.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 20 large fresh strawberries with stems, washed and thoroughly dried

→ Dark Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz high-quality dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped

→ White Chocolate Drizzle

03 - 1.75 oz white chocolate, chopped

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Verify strawberries are completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing.
02 - Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each burst.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted dark chocolate, swirling to coat two-thirds of the berry. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place on prepared baking sheet.
04 - Melt white chocolate using the same double boiler method or microwave, stirring until completely smooth and fluid.
05 - Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag or small zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off for precise drizzling.
06 - Drizzle white chocolate over chocolate-coated strawberries in thin, elegant lines or decorative patterns while dark chocolate is still slightly tacky.
07 - Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for 20–30 minutes until firm. For quicker setting, refrigerate briefly. Serve immediately or store in a single layer in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
