Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
- Prep

- Serves
- About 16 strawberries
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) strawberries
- 6 oz (170 g) semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Method
- Wash the strawberries and dry them thoroughly, including around the leaves. Line a tray with parchment paper.
- Place chocolate in a dry microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at half power in 20-second intervals, stirring well each time, until just melted and smooth.
- Hold each berry by its leaves and dip into the chocolate. Let excess drip back into the bowl, then place on the lined tray.
- Chill for about 20–30 minutes, until the chocolate sets. Keep refrigerated until shortly before serving.
Make Ahead
These are best the day they are made. Dip up to 8 hours ahead and keep them uncovered or loosely covered in the fridge. Wash and fully dry the berries earlier in the day.
Storage and Reheating
Storage: Refrigerate loosely covered, on parchment, and eat within 24 hours. The berries weep the longer they sit. Not suitable for freezing.
Reheating: Served chilled or let them sit out 10 minutes before serving.
