Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 pound fresh large, firm strawberries with green tops intact
Pink Chocolate Coating
- 8 ounces pink candy melts (or white chocolate dyed pink with food coloring)
White Chocolate Drizzle
- 4 ounces high-quality white chocolate for melting
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly, being careful to keep the green tops intact for easy dipping and a beautiful presentation.
- Melt Pink Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pink candy melts or white chocolate dyed pink according to package instructions. Stir the chocolate until it’s completely smooth and ready for dipping.
- Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the green top and dip it into the melted pink chocolate, swirling to coat about two-thirds of the strawberry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off for an even coating.
- Set Coated Strawberries: Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray to cool and harden. To speed up the setting process, refrigerate the tray for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt White Chocolate: While the pink coating sets, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted. Stir in the optional coconut oil to create a smoother drizzle.
- Drizzle White Chocolate: Once the pink coating is firm, use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate artistically over the strawberries for a decorative finish.
- Set and Serve: Allow the white drizzle to set completely before serving. Refrigerate if necessary to hasten the hardening process and keep the strawberries fresh.
Notes
- Use fresh, large strawberries with intact green tops for better handling and presentation.
- To color white chocolate pink, add a small amount of oil-based or powder food coloring before melting.
- Coconut oil helps create a smoother, shinier white chocolate drizzle but can be omitted if desired.
- Store finished strawberries in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
- For a firmer set, allow strawberries to chill longer before drizzling and serving.
