Chocolate Dipped Strawberries are so romantic and so tasty ! There is a technique for dipping the perfect strawberry that I would like to share. When you dip the strawberry into the milk chocolate slowly pull it out giving it a little shake this will fill in cracks and leave a nice even line. After withdrawing swirl it in a quick clockwise motion to spin the dripping chocoate. Now invert you hand upward to seal it. With this technique you will have lovely perfectly dipped strawberries every time !
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Ingredients:
24-30 fresh strawberries
6 ounces sweet, semi-sweet, bittersweet,milk or white chocolate ( I prefer chocolate chips they seem to melt the best for me - if you use other chocolate be sure to coarsely chop it)
Directions:
Place chocolate in a microwave safe dish and microwave either at the defrost setting or 10 percent power in 2 minute increments until the chocolate is melted smooth
Dip as described above
Place covered chocolate strawberries on a sheet of wax paper and keep in cool temperature
It is really best to dip the strawberries the same day they are to be eaten !Labels: Valentine, Valentine recipe |
