Black Friday Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries Recipe
Equipment
- Double Boiler (or heatproof bowl and saucepan)
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
- Forks for Drizzling
- Serving platter
Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries: 1 pint rinsed and dried
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup
- White Chocolate Chips: 1/2 cup optional, for drizzling
- Coconut Oil: 1 teaspoon optional, for a smoother texture
- Sprinkles or Crushed Nuts: Optional for decoration
Instructions
Prepare the Strawberries:
- Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry, or the chocolate won't stick well.
Melt the Chocolate:
- Fill the bottom of a double boiler with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the top part of the double boiler. If using, add the coconut oil for a smoother dip.
- Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip the Strawberries:
- Holding a strawberry by its stem, dip it into the melted chocolate. Ensure it's evenly coated, then lift it and let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Place the dipped strawberry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat this process with all the strawberries.
Optional White Chocolate Drizzle:
- Melt the white chocolate chips using the double boiler method.
- Using a fork, drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries for an elegant touch.
Decorating (Optional):
- Before the chocolate sets, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts or decorative sprinkles over the strawberries for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
Let Them Set:
- Allow the chocolate to cool and set at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing the strawberries in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange your beautiful chocolate-dipped strawberries on a serving platter and enjoy.
