Kitchen Equipment Required Baking Sheet Parchment Paper Small Saucepan or Double Boiler Heatproof Bowl Fork or Dipping Tool Refrigerator Cooking Time Total estimated time: 30 minutes Recipe: Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries Ingredients 500g (about 1 lb) fresh strawberries with stems 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate (around 1 cup chips or chunks) 15g (1 tbsp) unsalted butter or 15ml (1 tbsp) coconut oil Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles Instructions Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries Rinse the strawberries gently under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry as even a drop of water can seize the chocolate, making it lumpy. Step 2: Melt the Chocolate Use a double boiler method by filling a small saucepan with a little water and placing a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water. Add the chocolate and butter (or coconut oil) to the bowl. Heat gently, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted. Step 3: Dip the Strawberries Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, twisting slightly to ensure even coating. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the strawberries on the parchment paper. Step 4: Add Optional Toppings While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your chosen toppings like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or colorful sprinkles over the chocolate-dipped strawberries. Step 5: Chill the Strawberries Transfer the baking sheet with the strawberries to the refrigerator. Allow the chocolate to set for at least 15 minutes or until firm. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy Once the chocolate is completely set, serve the chocolate-dipped strawberries on a beautiful platter. Enjoy immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Conclusion You’ve just created a masterpiece of simplicity and elegance with these chocolate-dipped strawberries! Whether as a sweet indulgence for yourself or a thoughtful treat for loved ones, this delightful recipe is sure to impress.
