Chocolate covered strawberries are extremely easy to make but are so elegant, beautiful, impressive looking and romantic. We love them! I mean, who doesn’t love them!? They are beautiful on their own, add elegance to a dessert table, or the final touch on top of a cake or cheesecake.
Ingredients
- Strawberries
- White, Dark or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Melting Wafers or Baking Chocolate Chips
- Coconut Oil
The most important aspect of this treat is to select high-quality chocolate. Very important! We usually use Ghirardelli Melting Wafers or Ghirardelli Baking Chips, but any high chocolate works.
- Wash and dry the strawberries. Make sure to dry them well; they must be completely dry. The water will prevent the chocolate from sticking to the strawberry.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper.
- Using a heatproof bowl, microwave the chocolate wafers and a little bit of the coconut oil, stirring every 15 seconds, until they are melted and smooth. Coconut oil is not essential, but it helps hardens the chocolate faster and makes it a little thicker.
- Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip it into the chocolate, turning it to coat. Lift and let excess chocolate fall off.
- Lay the strawberries on the parchment paper.
- Wait 30 minutes for the chocolate to set, or place the strawberries into the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed the process.
- Enjoy them the same day, that’s when they are best. However, you can keep them in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 days.
Marbled Decoration
For a marbled effect, melt the dark and white chocolate as described above. Using a small spoon, drizzle some of the dark chocolate onto the white one. Do not stir! Dip the strawberries into the chocolate mixture, twist and turn when lifting up to create the marbled effect. Watch the video below for the full tutorial.
