Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Printable)

Ripe strawberries coated in dark chocolate with a smooth 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

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure strawberries are completely dry to help chocolate adhere properly.
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 until smooth and fully melted.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted dark chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place each dipped strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 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 - Pour the melted white chocolate into a small piping bag or use a spoon to drizzle over the set dark chocolate strawberries in a decorative, artistic pattern.
07 - Return the strawberries to the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes until the white chocolate drizzle is firm to the touch.
08 - Serve chilled or allow to come to room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between tart juicy strawberries and rich dark chocolate hits every single craving
  • These look impressive but take about twenty minutes from start to finish
  • You can keep everything in your pantry and make them whenever the mood strikes
02 -
  • Dry strawberries are nonnegotiable because water and chocolate do not get along
  • Room temperature chocolate melts better than cold chocolate straight from the fridge
  • Work quickly once the chocolate is melted or it will start thickening up
03 -
  • Make these the same day you plan to serve them because condensation forms in the fridge overnight
  • Hold the strawberry at an angle while dipping for better coverage and less dripping
