Description
Chocolate covered strawberries are a classic New Year's and Valentine's Day treat. But that doesn't mean they are less than delicious any other day of the year. Did you know that these are super simple and easy to make?
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) Fresh strawberries wash, pat dry, then air dry
Chocolate covered strawberries without tempering
- 7 oz (200 g) Chocolate Bar dark, bitter-sweet or semi-sweet
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 4 oz (100 g) melted White chocolate for garnish
- 3 tbsp Nuts finely chopped for garnish
Chocolate covered strawberries with tempered chocolate
- 8 oz High-quality coverture chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries: Wash strawberries in cold running water and drain them completely. Wipe them well to dry off any moisture. I wipe each strawberry with a paper hand towel. Then, I air dry for at least another hour so that any mist on the stalks will also dry.1 lb Fresh strawberries
- Melt chocolate: Chop chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals at 50% power, stirring each time until fully melted. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler method to melt the chocolate. If the chocolate is too thick add vegetable oil to the melted chocolate - stir well.7 oz Chocolate Bar, 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- Dip strawberries: Pick a strawberry by the stems and poke two toothpicks in it to help hold it. Then, dip it in the chocolate mixture. Hold it above the bowl for a few seconds to let excess chocolate drip. Gently rub the back of the strawberry over the edge, removing any excess.
- Let them set: Gently rub the back of the strawberry over the edge, removing any excess. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper, leaving enough room between them. Garnish the top with whatever you want while the chocolate is still melted so it stays stuck to the strawberry when it dries.
- Garnish: Drizzle with white or dark chocolate using a fork or piping bag. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed nuts, coconut, or sprinkles.4 oz melted White chocolate, 3 tbsp Nuts, 8 oz High-quality coverture chocolate
- Chill: Place the tray in the fridge for 20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
- Storage: These are best eaten the same day. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 24 hours. If refrigerating, keep them on parchment paper in a single layer and cover loosely with wax paper (not airtight). Let them sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before serving to prevent condensation.
