Description
These pink chocolate-dipped strawberries are the perfect treat for a romantic gesture, special occasions, or simply to enjoy as a decadent dessert. The luscious pink chocolate coating, paired with a delicate white chocolate drizzle, creates a beautiful and indulgent combination that’s as delightful to the eyes as it is to the taste buds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large fresh strawberries (washed and thoroughly dried)
- 1 cup pink candy melts or pink chocolate (you can use pink food coloring if you prefer white chocolate)
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips or white chocolate melts
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries:
- Ensure that the strawberries are completely dry, as any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly. Pat them gently with a paper towel to remove excess water.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Melt the pink chocolate:
- Place the pink candy melts or pink chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. You can add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to help achieve a smoother consistency.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted pink chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the berry. Hold the strawberry by the stem and gently swirl to coat.
- Place the dipped strawberries onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt the white chocolate:
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or white chocolate melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
- If the white chocolate is too thick, add a small amount of coconut oil to thin it out.
- Drizzle with white chocolate:
- Once the pink chocolate has set slightly (but is still tacky), drizzle the melted white chocolate over the strawberries using a spoon or a piping bag with a small hole.
- You can create a zigzag pattern or any design that you like.
- Optionally, sprinkle edible glitter or colorful sprinkles over the strawberries for a festive touch.
- Allow to set:
- Let the strawberries sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the chocolate to fully harden. If you want to speed up the process, you can place them in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Once the chocolate is completely set, they are ready to serve!
Notes
- You can use regular white chocolate and add a few drops of pink food coloring if pink candy melts aren’t available.
- For a crunchy touch, roll the dipped strawberries in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.
- If you prefer, you can drizzle the white chocolate over the pink chocolate immediately after dipping the strawberries, rather than waiting for the pink chocolate to set.
