Ingredients
- 12 strawberries washed and completely dried
- 6 ounces white chocolate or white dipping chocolate
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil such as coconut or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Place the white chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate, gently swirling to coat most of the berry.
- Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl, then place the strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining strawberries and chocolate.
- Allow the strawberries to set at room temperature or refrigerate for about 20 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
- For an extra decorative touch, drizzle any remaining melted white chocolate over the dipped strawberries using a spoon or a small zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Notes
- After washing your strawberries, dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Let them come to room temperature, since cold strawberries can cause the chocolate to seize more easily.
- White chocolate burns easily, so melt it in short 20–30 second intervals, stirring well between each round to help it heat evenly.
- I don’t recommend skipping the oil. Adding the oil to the melted chocolate helps keep it smooth and makes dipping the strawberries much easier.
