Strawberries deserve to be truly enjoyed – and what better way than indulging in a delectable, freshly-made treat? These dreamy chocolate-covered beauties are sure to tantalize the taste buds of family and friends!
Making this decadent dessert is surprisingly simple.
Instructions:
- Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Then, measure out 3.5 ounces of chopped dark, milk, or white chocolate and carefully melt it in a small glass bowl in the microwave. Allow the mixture to cool for a few moments, then pour it into a tall glass for easy dipping.
- Carefully skew each strawberry, submerging it into the chocolate mixture, and then tap it gently to remove any excess.
- Place the dipped strawberries onto the parchment paper, then add some sprinkles, nuts, or coconut flakes to give them a touch of flavor and crunch.
- Put them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden, and the dessert is nearly ready for consumption.
Chocolate-covered strawberries can be stored in the refrigerator to retain freshness and consumed the same day they’re made for the best flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What kind of chocolate should I use?
A: Your preference dictates which type of chocolate you prefer to use here – dark, milk, or white. You can also try dark with some white chocolate or milk with dark or white for a delicious combination.
Q: How can I make sure the chocolate doesn’t melt too quickly?
A: Melting the chocolate in the microwave is the preferred method – this allows you to heat it in small increments, allowing the chocolate to slowly melt without burning. Additionally, pouring the melted chocolate into a tall glass helps keep the temperature cool and prevents it from becoming too liquid.
Q: Are there other ways to serve the strawberries?
A: Absolutely! Chocolate-covered strawberries can be served as-is, with a drizzle of caramel, or a touch of powdered sugar. Alternatively, they can be savored after they’ve been dipped in a variety of crumbled toppings, from chopped hazelnuts to crushed pretzels.
