Ingredients
Directions
- Prepare the strawberries:
Wash the strawberries gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. It’s important that they’re completely dry before dipping, as any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize up. - Melt the chocolate:
Break the chocolate into small pieces or use chocolate chips. You can melt the chocolate in one of two ways:- Microwave method: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
- Double boiler method: Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Stir occasionally until fully melted.
- Dip the strawberries:
Hold each strawberry by the stem or leaves and dip it into the melted chocolate. Swirl it gently to coat the strawberry, leaving the top portion exposed. If desired, you can drizzle a small amount of chocolate over the top to give it a thicker coating. - Set the strawberries:
Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or you can speed up the process by placing the tray in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Drizzle chocolate covered strawberries with Delicato Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Classic Balsamic Glaze
