Equipment
- Heatproof Bowl
- Saucepan
- Skewers or Forks
Ingredients
- sprinkles / sugar pearls
- 16 strawberries
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate
- ⅓ cup white chocolate
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under water and set them aside to dry.
- Fill a saucepan with a small amount of water and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
- To melt the chocolate using a bain-marie method, break the chocolate into smaller pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
- Decide whether to start with white or dark chocolate first.
- Position the bowl over the saucepan, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
- This is crucial to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave.
- Be cautious to avoid burning or clumping by microwaving in short intervals and stirring frequently.
- However, the bain-marie method is recommended for best results.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, holding by the crown or using a skewer for easier handling.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the strawberries with colorful sprinkles.
- Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries, then place them on a plate or in a cup (if using skewers) and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
- Clean the bowl and repeat the melting process with the other type of chocolate, following the same steps for dipping and decorating.
Notes
- If you don't have sprinkles, consider using crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or even edible glitter to decorate your strawberries.
- They are best consumed within 1-2 days to ensure the strawberries stay fresh and the chocolate retains its crisp texture.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or flavored chocolate (like mint or orange) to add a unique twist to your strawberries.
