Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh Strawberries
  • High-Quality Couverture Chocolate (at least 60% cacao)
  • Coconut Oil (Optional)
  • Toppings (e.g., crushed pistachios, sea salt flakes, freeze-dried raspberry dust)

Method
 

  1. Wash the strawberries under cold water and dry them completely with a lint-free cloth.
  2. Chop your chocolate into uniform, small pieces for an even melt.
  3. Place two-thirds of the chocolate in a double boiler and melt it slowly over low heat until it reaches 115°F (46°C).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining one-third of the chocolate until the temperature drops to 88°F to 90°F (31°C to 32°C).
  5. Hold the strawberry by the green hull and dip it into the chocolate, rotating slightly for full coverage.
  6. Lift the strawberry and gently shake off excess chocolate.
  7. Place dipped strawberries onto parchment paper and add toppings immediately.
  8. Transfer the tray to a cool, dry area to set.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping. Consume within 12 hours for the best quality.
