Servings: 6
Cost: 5
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon shortening
Instructions
- Prep: Wash and pat dry strawberries. Ensure berries are thoroughly dry before dipping to ensure white chocolate adheres.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, followed by 20 second intervals stirring after each interval until white chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip: Holding the leaves out of the way, dip and twirl each strawberry in the melted white chocolate to fully coat it. Let excess chocolate drip off. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add a Decorative Drizzle: After all strawberries have been dipped in the white chocolate, use a fork or spoon to carefully drizzle extra white chocolate over the strawberries.
Notes
Shortening: I recommend using Crisco for the shortening. Refined coconut oil may be substituted.
Storage: After chocolate has hardened, strawberries can stay at room temperature for 24 hours. After that, store strawberries in the fridge. Will last for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
