Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 20-25 fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white chocolate
- Sprinkles for decoration
- Blue food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate
Break the white chocolate into pieces and melt it in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted. - Let the chocolate cool slightly
Allow the melted chocolate to cool just a bit so it stays smooth and easy to dip without being too runny. - Color part of the chocolate (optional)
Set aside a portion of the melted chocolate and mix in blue food coloring made for chocolate, stirring until evenly colored. - Dip the strawberries
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it about two-thirds of the way into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. - Add sprinkles for decoration
Let the chocolate set slightly, then dip the bottom portion of each strawberry into sprinkles so they stick neatly. - Let the strawberries set completely
Place the decorated strawberries on parchment paper and allow them to sit until the chocolate is fully set before serving.
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- Use chocolate made for melting if possible, since it gives a smoother and more even coating.
- Avoid storing overnight, as strawberries release moisture and can affect the texture.
