Chocolate and strawberries are such a delicious combination. I've purchased 16 punnets of strawberries in the last two weeks to support the local farmers.
The strawberries have all been eaten fresh or dipped in chocolate. I have dipped many punnets of strawberries to eat and as gifts for friends. They make awesome gifts and take no time to make.
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries are so easy and fun to make. All you need is to melt your favourite chocolate and cover those strawberries. To make them pretty, just drizzle more chocolate over them and add sprinkles.
This week I dipped some strawberries in white chocolate and added sprinkles and they look so pretty and tasted delicious.
Hope you get a chance to buy some strawberries and dip away.
Happy Baking xo
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Ingredients
· Dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate
· Sprinkles
Instructions
1. Rinse and pat dry the strawberries. Make sure there are no water droplets on them.
2. Place some baking paper or wax paper onto two baking trays.
3. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl does not touch the water). Stir until completely melted. Or alternatively you can melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted.
4. Dip one strawberry at a time into the melted chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place on baking paper to dry.
5. Melt extra chocolate and place into a snaplock bag and cut a very tiny section off the edge. Pipe the chocolate over the chocolate dipped strawberries and add sprinkles.
*Please note – the chocolate dries quickly so it’s best to pipe only one or two and add sprinkles before continuing to pipe more.
Tips
· Best to eat the chocolate covered strawberries on the same day they are made to avoid the strawberries sweating or leaking. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 10 hours, in a cool, dry place and uncovered on baking paper.
· Strawberries can be served at room temperature or chilled straight from the fridge.
