Serves: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 24 strawberries
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
- Wax paper (for cooling)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry strawberries, ensuring no moisture remains as water will prevent chocolate from adhering properly.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper to prepare a cooling station for the dipped strawberries.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Add white chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir gently with a silicone spatula, allowing them to melt slowly and smoothly.
- Remove chocolate from heat when completely melted and smooth, being careful not to overheat which can cause chocolate to seize.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and carefully dip into the melted white chocolate, twirling to ensure even coverage.
- Gently shake off excess chocolate and immediately sprinkle with decorative sprinkles before chocolate sets.
- Place each dipped strawberry on the prepared wax paper, allowing space between them for cooling.
- Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes until chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your romantic Valentine's treat.
Tips
- • Always ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing • Use a double boiler method for smooth, perfectly melted white chocolate • Work quickly when dipping and sprinkling to ensure decorations stick • Choose fresh, ripe strawberries with bright color and firm texture • Use room temperature strawberries for best chocolate adhesion • If chocolate starts to harden, gently reheat using the double boiler technique • For a gourmet touch, try using different types of sprinkles or drizzle with dark chocolate • Store in refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for best taste and texture
