How to make white chocolate covered strawberries
Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and dry them completely to ensure the chocolate sticks properly.
Melt the White Chocolate: Use a microwave or double boiler to melt it until smooth.
Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
Set on Parchment Paper or foil: Place them on a lined baking sheet and let them set at room temperature before serving.
Best chocolate to use
For the best results, I prefer to use high-quality white chocolate bars instead of white chocolate chips.
Brands like Ghirardelli or Lindt offer great options for dipping.
How to store
Keep them in a single layer on a parchment-lined plate or container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for the best texture.
Avoid freezing, as the strawberries may release moisture when thawed.
Helpful Tips
- Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- If the strawberries are coming right out of the fridge let them sit out and come to room temperature before wiping. Any condensation will cause the chocolate to seize.
- Use a heatproof bowl when melting the chocolate to avoid burning.
- Work quickly to dip the strawberries before the chocolate starts to harden.
- Let the chocolate covered strawberries set at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation.
FAQs
Yes, but they may not melt as smoothly. Adding a teaspoon of coconut oil can help with consistency and a lovely shine. Overall any good quality baking chocolate should work just fine.
They’re best enjoyed the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
Absolutely! Sprinkle chopped nuts, coconut, or drizzle with dark chocolate before they set.
This usually happens if the strawberries are damp. Make sure they’re completely dry before dipping.
Tempering gives a glossy finish, but it’s not necessary for simple homemade chocolate dipped strawberries.
Adding a teaspoon of oil to baking chocolate will give it a similar finish.
