TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries:
- Dry Thoroughly: Moisture can cause chocolate to seize, so ensure berries are fully dry.
- Choose Firm Berries: Select ripe but firm strawberries for best dipping and presentation.
- Stir Often When Melting: Chocolate melts best when stirred regularly to avoid overheating.
- Use Skewers Or Forks: This is helpful for dipping if stems are too short.
- Serve Chilled: Keep in the fridge until serving to maintain the glossy finish.
VARIATIONS
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle dipped berries with crushed nuts, shredded coconut or sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- White Chocolate Option: Use vegan white chocolate for a colourful contrast.
- Infuse Flavour: Add a drop of peppermint or orange extract to the melted chocolate.
- Make A Platter: Combine with other fruits like bananas or apple slices for a chocolate-dipped fruit tray.
- Gourmet Finish: Drizzle with another chocolate colour for an elegant design.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store in a single layer in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing changes the texture of the strawberries after thawing.
- Make Ahead: Prep several hours in advance for stress-free entertaining.
- Use Baking Paper: Line containers with parchment to prevent sticking.
