Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Large Fresh Strawberries with stems intact
  • 10 oz High-quality Dark or Milk Chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp Refined Coconut Oil
  • 4 oz White Chocolate melting wafers

Instructions:

  1. Wash the berries. Rinse them in cold water but do not remove the green stems.
  2. Dry thoroughly. Lay them on a clean towel for 15 minutes, then pat each one again with a paper towel. Note: Moisture is the enemy of chocolate.
  3. Melt the base. Place 8 oz (225g) of the dark chocolate and the coconut oil in a bowl over simmering water.
  4. Seed the mixture. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 oz (58g) of chocolate until completely smooth and glossy.
  5. The 45 degree dip. Hold a berry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate at an angle, swirling it slowly.
  6. Drain the excess. Lift the berry and shake it gently over the bowl until the dripping slows to a stop.
  7. Place on parchment. Lay the berry down and slide it forward about half an inch to prevent a large foot of chocolate from forming.
  8. Melt the drizzle. Melt the white chocolate wafers in 10 second bursts in the microwave until they flow like honey.
  9. The final touch. Use a fork or a piping bag to flick the white chocolate across the berries in a rapid side to side motion.
  10. Flash set. Place the tray in the fridge for 15 minutes until the shell is firm to the touch.
