Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Printable)

Juicy strawberries coated in dark chocolate with a white chocolate drizzle for an elegant, simple dessert.

# 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. Verify strawberries are completely dry to ensure proper chocolate adhesion.
02 - Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt using a double boiler over simmering water or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently until completely smooth.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip three-quarters into melted dark chocolate. Gently shake to remove excess coating and place on prepared baking sheet.
04 - Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator. Chill for 10–15 minutes until dark chocolate coating is completely firm.
05 - Melt white chocolate using the same double boiler or microwave method. Stir until smooth and transfer to piping bag or small spoon.
06 - Pipe or drizzle melted white chocolate over chilled strawberries in decorative patterns. Work quickly before chocolate begins to set.
07 - Return strawberries to refrigerator for 10 minutes until drizzle is firm. Serve chilled or allow to reach room temperature before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look incredibly impressive but take about twenty minutes from start to finish
  • The combination of dark and white chocolate creates that perfect sweetbitter balance
02 -
  • Water is chocolate's worst enemy, even a single drop on your strawberries or in your melting bowl will ruin everything instantly
  • The white chocolate drizzle only looks good if the dark chocolate has completely set first, otherwise they'll blend into a muddy mess
03 -
  • If your chocolate seizes and gets grainy, whisk in a tiny bit of vegetable oil to smooth it out again
  • Work in a cool room because warm humidity will make everything frustratingly difficult
