We love Chocolate Covered Strawberries. They are delicious, crunchy, juicy and perfect for turning any moment into an idyllic gastronomic experience. We propose an idea that is perfect for preparing a delicious atmosphere to celebrate the upcoming Valentine's Day.

One of the most important aspects of preparing this recipe is the method with which the dark chocolate is melted. In fact, the chocolate must be tempered, so as not to cause bubbles to appear on the surface of the strawberries.

If you want to make them even more irresistible , decorate the chocolate strawberries with chopped hazelnuts, pistachios or almonds or with strips of melted white chocolate (using a piping bag). Chocolate strawberries can also be used to decorate a cake that with this addition will become even more delicious and tempting.

Symbol of spring , strawberries are a delicious fruit with a unique sweetness. Eaten alone, with whipped cream, mixed together or in a dessert, these fruits please everyone, young and old*. But did you know that strawberries are not actually a real fruit, but rather a false fruit ? From a strictly botanical point of view, in fact, the real fruits would be the achenes, that is, the yellow seeds present on the surface of the strawberry.

And if you feel like enjoying this dessert but you don't have any strawberries at home, don't worry: you can use the same procedure to cover bananas, apples, oranges or fruit skewers in chocolate.

These strawberry and chocolate balls are delicious but even more, I would say irresistible! These sweets are not only very beautiful to look at but they have a divine taste and aroma! Do you think they are difficult to make? Absolutely not! I will explain here how to make them step by step.

I find them perfect to serve at the end of a meal or when we want to surprise our guests with something nicer than the usual pastries. In addition to being very simple, they are also very versatile as they can be adapted and enhanced with all the fruit you want. For example, other than strawberries, they also work well with berries or why not, if you like coconut!

These spheres are very tasty, they always have a surprise effect, because you never know what you'll find inside.

The crunchy chocolate wafer actually hides a creamy filling that will delight and conquer even the most refined palates. Very interesting in my opinion is the contrast that is generated between the bitterness of the dark chocolate, the sweetness of the cream and the acidic tones of the fruit. A true triumph of flavors and consistencies!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Ingredients:

  • 500 g of strawberries
  • 150 g of milk chocolate
  • 50 g white chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • Grated coconut (optional)
  • Chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Wash and sanitize the strawberries, leaving the stems intact (although you can remove them if you prefer). Dry them well with a paper towel to remove excess water before freezing them.
  2. Place a sheet of waxed paper on a flat tray or plate. Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until completely liquid. If the chocolate is too thick, you can add coconut oil for a smoother, easier-to-coat mixture.
  3. Optionally, melt the white chocolate in the same way in another container and set aside. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate and place them on the wax paper to allow the chocolate to cool and harden.
  4. To decorate, you can use a fork to drizzle some melted white chocolate over the strawberries, creating decorative contrasting lines. You can also add shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts while the chocolate is still wet so they stick.
  5. Enjoy these delicious chocolate covered strawberries on any special occasion or just as a sweet and delicious treat!

Here are some tips to make your chocolate covered strawberries perfect:

If it's your first time making chocolate covered strawberries, it may seem like a challenge. Pay attention to these tips so that everything turns out perfectly. 

If this is one of your first times making chocolate covered strawberries, you may experience a lot of accidents. To avoid them becoming lumpy, falling apart, or rubbery (without that crunchy bite that we love).

Use fresh strawberries and be sure to dry them thoroughly with a paper towel before dipping them in the chocolate. Moisture can cause the chocolate to set unevenly or form lumps.

Choose good quality chocolate for a smoother, more delicious result. Avoid chocolate with too many additives or added sugars, as these can affect the final texture.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave in short intervals , stirring well after each interval. This will help prevent the chocolate from burning or forming lumps. If the chocolate is too thick, add a little coconut oil to make the mixture smoother.

Make sure the strawberries and chocolate are at room temperature before you begin the process. Hot chocolate on cold strawberries can cause the chocolate to harden too quickly and not adhere properly.

Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate evenly, making sure to coat them completely. Gently shake to remove excess chocolate, then place on wax paper to cool and harden.

If you're going to decorate the strawberries with white chocolate, shredded coconut or chocolate chips, do it quickly while the chocolate is still wet so the toppings will adhere properly.

If you want the chocolate to harden faster, you can place the strawberries in the refrigerator for a few minutes. However, avoid leaving them in the refrigerator for too long, as the chocolate may start to moisten when they return to room temperature.

With these tips, you'll be on your way to making the perfect chocolate covered strawberries - crisp, thin, and absolutely delicious! Enjoy this sweet and tempting treat on any occasion!
