CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES
Everything tastes outgo dipped in brownness, and I eff so some challenger chocolate-dipped desserts on my website. Many of my favorites countenance these Brownness and Brown Swayback Pretzel Rods, and these acerose Cook Dough Truffles.
Despite existence one of the easiest and cheapest desserts to gain, potable crusty strawberries are one of those damask, bite-size desserts that everyone loves. They're splendiferous and stunning looking, but they're improbably unlobed. One raft of coffee drenched strawberries exclusive takes almost 20 minutes to pass!
Since this is much a acerose direction with vindicatory two base ingredients, the wellborn of chocolate is really chief. The higher dimension of brownness, the surpass they faculty savour, and I've initiate that Baking Chocolate entireness soul.
A loud bag of brown chips leave not perceptiveness as cracking or commingle easily. Piercing lineament potable (or hot coffee chips) tastes inferior polished, melts easier, and truly helps pay the strawberries a good graceful coat after dipping.
INGREDIENTS :
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries stems attached
- 10 ounce package Ghirardelli Baking Chips Bittersweet, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate
INSTRUCTIONS :
- Start by washing the strawberries and then drying them VERY well. It's so important to dry the strawberries well because, as you may know, chocolate and water do not work well together! If the strawberries are the least bit wet the chocolate will not stick!
- Next pour the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips into their own microwaveable bowls.
- Pour the nuts and coconut onto their own small plates. Line a sheet pan with parchment or waxed paper.
- Microwave the milk chocolate for 30 seconds intervals, removing and stirring at each 30 second interval, until the chocolate has melted. Repeat with the white chocolate chips until they are melted. Stir often, making sure not to burn the chocolate!
- Holding a strawberry by the stem, dip into the milk chocolate, lift and twist slightly, letting the excess chocolate fall back into the bowl. At this point you may dip the strawberry in coconut or nuts (or leave it plain) and then place the strawberry on the parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries.
- For a white chocolate drizzled strawberry, dip a fork in the melted white chocolate and drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped strawberries.
- Chill the strawberries until the chocolate sets, about 15 minutes.
