Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 medium-sized strawberries
- 4 oz (115 g) white baking chocolate
Instructions
- Wash and Dry Strawberries: Thoroughly wash the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel to ensure no moisture interferes with the chocolate coating.
- Remove the Stem: Cut a small “V” shape at the top of each strawberry to remove the stem cleanly while preparing the heart shape.
- Slice into Heart Shapes: Vertically slice each strawberry in half through the “V” cut. This creates cute, heart-shaped strawberry halves.
- Insert Sticks: Push a wooden stick or skewer through the bottom end of each strawberry half to hold them securely for dipping.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place the white baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it by warming in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Strawberries: Carefully dip the top (cut) side of each strawberry heart into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place on Parchment: Arrange the dipped strawberries on a parchment paper-lined plate or baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Transfer the plate or baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set and firmed up.
- Serve: Remove the chocolate-coated strawberry hearts from the fridge and serve immediately for a fresh and delightful treat.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to allow the chocolate to adhere properly.
- You can substitute white baking chocolate with white chocolate chips for convenience.
- For added decoration, drizzle with dark chocolate or sprinkle with chopped nuts before chilling.
- Store leftover strawberries in the fridge and consume within 24 hours for best taste and freshness.
