Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Report
Chocolate-covered strawberries are a delicious treat made with juicy berries dipped in smooth, rich chocolate.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound whole fresh strawberries room temperature, washed and dried
- 150 grams solid chocolate bar of choice not chocolate chips
Instructions
- Wash strawberries well and allow them to dry completely.
- Place 1" of water in a small pot.
- Break chocolate into pieces and place in a glass bowl that fits over the top of the pot without touching the water.
- Bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and place bowl with chocolate over top. Stir frequently until melted and smooth and the chocolate reaches 88-90°F.
- Remove from heat (I like to keep the bowl over the pot to keep the chocolate warm) and carefully dip strawberries, holding the stem. Gently shake off excess chocolate and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Garnish with toppings if using.
- When all strawberries are coated, place in the refrigerator to set completely before serving.
Notes
- Rinse berries under cool water and dab dry well with paper towels before dipping. Drops of water can ruin the chocolate.
- Use room temperature strawberries.
- Low slow heat is the best way to melt the chocolate, ensure the bowl is not touching the water. Tempered chocolate is best.
- Place dipped berries on a parchment paper or waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
- Make these the same day you plan on serving them.
- Chocolate-covered strawberries are best stored at room temperature for the day.
