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.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES
Steps:
- Rinse the strawberries and let dry completely on paper towels. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper. Melt and temper the chocolate (see pages 25-30).
- Hold a strawberry securely between your thumb and forefinger, and with the pointed end down, dip the berry into the chocolate, covering three-quarters of the berry. Remove the berry from the chocolate, gently shake off the excess chocolate, and place the berry on the prepared pan. Repeat with the remaining berries. Let the chocolate set up at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. The dipped berries must be served within 4 hours of preparation; if not served immediately, refrigerate until 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, plump strawberries. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry. This will help the chocolate adhere better.
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the strawberries will taste.
- Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully. Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize up and become unusable.
- Dip the strawberries in the chocolate and then place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Be sure to coat the strawberries evenly.
- Refrigerate the strawberries until the chocolate is set. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Enjoy the strawberries! They can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
