- 1 lb strawberries (about 20 to 25 strawberries clean and completely dry)
- 2 Bars Ghirardelli white baking chocolate (broken into pieces if using melting wafers a 10oz bag is fine.)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil
- Wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
- Place the dipped strawberries on the lined baking sheet.
- Decorate by drizzling each with white chocolate using a fork or spoon.
- Let them set at room temperature or in the fridge for about 15 minutes until firm.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results use good quality baking chocolate.
- 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.
