Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (large, firm 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 the strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly, keeping the green tops intact to make dipping easier and presentation prettier.
- Melt the pink chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pink candy melts or white chocolate dyed pink as per package instructions, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Dip the strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the green top and dip into the melted pink chocolate, swirling to cover about two-thirds of the berry. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Set the pink chocolate: Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the coating to harden firmly.
- Melt white chocolate drizzle: While strawberries cool, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted. Stir in coconut oil if using to create a smooth drizzle.
- Drizzle the strawberries: Use a spoon or piping bag to decorate the set pink chocolate strawberries with white chocolate in a decorative pattern, adding elegance and contrast to the treat.
- Final setting: Let the white chocolate drizzle set completely before serving. Refrigerate to speed up setting if desired.
Notes
- Choose firm, ripe strawberries for best results and to ensure smooth dipping.
- Coconut oil is optional but helps the white chocolate drizzle flow more easily.
- If using white chocolate with food coloring for pink coating, ensure it is safe for melting.
- Store finished strawberries refrigerated and consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
