Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe



Yesterday I bought some strawberries, but was wondering what to do with them. Previously I thought to use them for a strawberry cake, but then I came across this fantastic recipe on the internet. So, I thought of sharing this amazing recipe with you. And I have also shared a little tip or rather a secret to help you master this recipe. I bet this is one of the best ways of using strawberries. The frozen chocolate on the top with the tanginess of the strawberries simply gives rise to a heavenly combination.

My experience was great with this recipe. But sadly I had to use an aluminum foil instead of a parchment paper as I did not had any parchment paper at that point of time :(. However, the strawberries came up just fine and looked gorgeous.

Try it and I am sure you will love it as well.

Recipe test: Tested
Difficulty level: Easy
Yields: 10-12
Preparation time: 10-20 minutes
Cooking time: 3-5 minutes

Ingredients:
1.    10-12 fresh strawberries, with leaves and stems
2.    8 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips
3.    3 ounces of white chocolate
4.    1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
Appliances:
1.    1 sauce pan
2.    2 large heat proof bowls
3.    1 rubber spatula
4.    Parchment paper
Procedure:
1.    Place a sauce pan on low heat and fill it halfway up with water. Place a heat proof bowl over the saucepan, making sure that the bowl is not touching the water in the sauce pan.


2.    Then put the milk chocolates into the bowl and stir the chocolate until it melts completely. Once done, dip the lower side of the strawberries in the chocolate and keep them on a parchment paper lined plate.




3.    Refrigerate the strawberries until the chocolate completely melts. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in the same way as you did with the milk chocolate.
4.    Now take out the frozen strawberries and drizzle a little amount of molten white chocolate on the strawberries as shown in the picture. Return the strawberries to the refrigerator and freeze for another 15 minutes before serving.


Tips:
1.    Add a little vegetable oil to the molten chocolate. The oil adds luster to the chocolate and makes it shiny.
Hope you enjoyed the recipe… :)
