Description
These pink chocolate-covered strawberries with a white chocolate drizzle are a beautiful and delicious treat—perfect for Valentine’s Day, baby showers, or any festive occasion. They’re easy to make and look stunning with minimal effort.
Ingredients
For the Strawberries:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (large, firm, with green tops intact)
- 8 ounces pink candy melts (or white chocolate dyed pink with food coloring)
For the Drizzle:
- 4 ounces white chocolate (high-quality, for melting)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother drizzle)
Instructions
1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water.
2. Pat the strawberries completely dry with a paper towel. Moisture prevents chocolate from sticking.
3. Place the pink candy melts (or white chocolate with pink coloring) in a microwave-safe bowl.
4. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each session, until fully melted and smooth.
5. If the chocolate is too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil for smoother consistency.
6. Hold each strawberry by its green top and dip it into the melted pink chocolate to fully coat.
7. Gently shake off excess chocolate and place the strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Repeat with all strawberries and let them set at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
9. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
10. Add a small amount of coconut oil if needed for a smoother drizzle.
11. Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
12. Drizzle the white chocolate over the pink-coated strawberries in thin lines or swirls.
13. Allow the drizzle to set completely before serving.
Notes
Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to ensure chocolate adheres properly.
Use gel or oil-based coloring if tinting white chocolate pink—water-based coloring can seize chocolate.
Store in a single layer in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Perfect for gifting or party platters.
