Ingredients
- 12 medium-sized strawberries
- 4 oz 115 g white baking chocolate
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and dry the strawberries.
- Remove the stem by cutting a small “V” shape at the top of each strawberry.
- Vertically slice the strawberries in half, through the “V.” This will create heart-shaped halves.
- Insert a wooden stick or skewer through the bottom of the strawberries, ensuring it holds securely. Set them aside for now.
- Place the white baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, then put in the microwave. Melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Carefully dip the top strawberry half into the melted white chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment paper-lined plate or baking sheet.
- Transfer the plate or baking sheet to the fridge and let the strawberries chill for 15 minutes or until the chocolate firms.
- Remove the strawberries from the fridge and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes
- Choose Your Strawberry Wisely: Use ripe but firm strawberries when making this recipe, as they can better hold their shape.
- Dry Them Well: Make sure the fruits are completely dry after washing them. Any excess moisture might cause the chocolate to not stick to the strawberries.
- Use A Sharp Knife: A sharp paring knife is the best tool for carving the small v-shape at the top of each fruit.
- Make It More Fluid: Incorporating coconut oil into the melted chocolate will help make it smoother.
