White Chocolate Strawberries
Sweet, juicy berries covered in a cloud of creamy white chocolate look so classy on a dessert tray and taste even better!
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 1 11-oz. pkg. white chocolate baking chips (like Ghiradelli)
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries under cool running water and gently pat dry with paper towels. Smooth the green tops around each berry.
- Place the berries on clean paper towels and allow to finish air drying for at least 30 minutes.
- Fill a double boiler with about 1 to 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium low heat. Place two-thirds of the white chocolate chips in the top of the double boiler and stir continuously until completely melted.
- Remove the bowl of the double boiler from the pan and place on a kitchen towel. Cool for 3 to 4 minutes, then add in the remaining chocolate chips, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Hold each strawberry as close to the top as you can and dip into the melted chocolate, allowing a little of the red berry to show. Gently shake off any excess, then lay on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
- When all the berries have been dipped, drizzle a little of the remaining chocolate on top to create a design if you like.
- Allow the dipped strawberries to sit at room temperature until the chocolate is set and firm. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a single layer in an airtight container.
Notes
- No double boiler? No problem! As a substitute use a heatproof mixing bowl on top of a pot of simmering water — just make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Get creative! Drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate to create white and dark chocolate swirled strawberries.
- Or, dip white chocolate strawberries in melted dark chocolate, allowing a little of the white to show at the top, to create tuxedo strawberries.
