CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES



Chocolate Covered Strawberries image

This is the simplest version of chocolate covered strawberries I know. Paraffin was originally used instead of shortening. Turn the strawberries upside down and insert by the toothpicks into a piece of styrofoam for easy cooling, or simply place them on a sheet of wax paper. White chocolate may be drizzled over the milk chocolate for a fancier look. They are perfect for weddings when decorated with frosting bow ties, bells, butterflies, roses, etc.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 pound chocolate covered strawberries

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 pound strawberries with stems (about 20), washed and dried very well

Turn off the heat; set the bowls of chocolate over the water to melt. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolates in a microwave at half power, for 1 minute, stir and then heat for another minute or until melted.)
  • Once the chocolates are melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip the fruit into the dark chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. Set strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries. Dip a fork in the white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.

Indulge in chocolate-dipped strawberries for dessert or as part of a romantic picnic. Drizzle over milk and white chocolate for the wow factor

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 24m

Number Of Ingredients 3

100g dark chocolate , roughly chopped
400g strawberries
30g white and milk chocolate , roughy chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut a strip of baking parchment and leave to one side. To melt the dark chocolate, fill a small pan with 2cm water and bring to a simmer. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and rest it on top of the pan, ensuring the bowl isn't touching the water. Stir the chocolate to gradually melt it. Or, melt the chocolate in 20 second blasts in the microwave, stirring after each blast until melted. Put the melted chocolate in a small deep bowl.
  • Gently hold the strawberries by the leafy top and dip into the chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate and put on the parchment to set. If you have any leftover chocolate, pour it onto another strip of parchment and leave it to set, it can be used again.
  • If you'd like to decorate the strawberries, melt the white and milk chocolate and drizzle lightly over the fruit.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm strawberries. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots, as these will not hold up well when dipped in chocolate.
  • Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Make sure to remove all of the stems and leaves. Pat the berries dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave. If you are using a double boiler, place the chocolate in the top pot and fill the bottom pot with simmering water. Stir the chocolate constantly until it is melted and smooth.
  • If you are using a microwave, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate. Hold the strawberry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate, twirling it to coat it evenly.
  • Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
  • To decorate the chocolate-covered strawberries, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate, sprinkle them with chopped nuts or sprinkles, or roll them in coconut flakes.
  • Chocolate-covered strawberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chocolate-covered strawberries are a delicious and elegant treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for special occasions or as a simple snack.
