Ingredients

Scale

For these Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Hearts, you’ll need:

  • 12 large fresh strawberries with stems intact
  • 8 oz semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped
  • 2 oz white chocolate (for drizzling or decoration)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smooth chocolate)
  • Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or edible glitter for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Strawberries:

  1. Wash and Dry the Strawberries: Gently wash the strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
  2. Trim the Top: Use a sharp knife to remove the green tops of the strawberries. Then, cut the strawberries into heart shapes by slicing off a small portion of each side to create a V-shape, leaving the top rounded and the bottom pointed.

Prepare the Chocolate:

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Place the semisweet or milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt it using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. If desired, add coconut oil for a smoother, shinier texture.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate (optional): If using white chocolate for decoration, melt it in the same way. Transfer it to a small piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off for easy drizzling.

Dip the Strawberries:

  1. Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover about three-quarters of the strawberry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
  2. Optional Decoration: If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts, colorful sprinkles, or edible glitter onto the chocolate before it sets for added decoration.
  3. Drizzle with White Chocolate: If you’re using white chocolate, drizzle it over the dipped strawberries in a decorative pattern, then let the chocolate set.

Chill the Strawberries:

  1. Cool and Set: Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set.
