White Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Description
This recipe starts with gently rinsing and drying ripe strawberries to ensure proper adhesion of the chocolate coating. White chocolate chips are melted with shortening, which helps achieve a smooth, glossy consistency suitable for dipping. Strawberries are dipped fully in the chocolate mixture and placed on a lined baking sheet to chill and harden in the refrigerator.
Once set, the chocolate may be tinted with food coloring, remelted if needed, and applied in decorative drizzles using a zip-top bag with a snipped corner. Sprinkles can be added for additional texture and appearance before the final chill.
These chocolate-dipped strawberries serve as a sweet, elegant treat that combines juicy, fresh fruit with creamy, sweet white chocolate. They are ideal for celebrations or as a simple dessert.
The recipe advises storing the finished strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days to maintain freshness and chocolate texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries ripe
- 1 ounce bag white chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons shortening
- Sprinkles optional
- Food Coloring optional
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries with cold water, gently (but thoroughly) pat dry with paper towels, set aside. Line a small-medium baking sheet (something that will fit in your fridge) with aluminum foil.
- In a microwave safe bowl (or double boiler) melt chocolate chips with shortening and stir until smooth. Carefully dip strawberries into melted chocolate, turning all the way around so that ll sides are coated with chocolate. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- When all strawberries are dipped, place baking sheet in the fridge to cool. Add a few drops of food coloring (color of your choice!) into the melted chocolate (if it has begun to set up just put it back in the microwave on half heat for a few seconds and give it a stir) and stir until smooth and coloring is even. Remove strawberries from fridge. Carefully transfer colored chocolate into a zip lock bag, seal it and snip off just a tiny bit of one bottom corner. Drizzle colored chocolate onto strawberries in any design you like. Top with sprinkles. Return to fridge for about 10 minutes to set up. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use completely dry strawberries to ensure white chocolate sticks properly.
- Refrigerate dipped strawberries until chocolate is fully set before decorating.
- Store finished strawberries in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days.
