Equipment
- baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- double boiler or microwave
- paper towels
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries Approximately 24 strawberries
- 10 ounces chocolate chips Semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and wash the strawberries, ensuring they are completely dry and at room temperature.
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry by holding it by the leaves, coating it in chocolate, and shaking off excess.
- Place the dipped strawberries on the baking sheet and let them air dry for 20 to 30 minutes, or refrigerate for firmer chocolate.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are washed and completely dry to help the chocolate adhere. Allow strawberries to reach room temperature if taken from the fridge to avoid condensation. Scrape excess chocolate off the bottom of the strawberry before placing it on the baking sheet to prevent pooling. Serve at room temperature for the best texture.
