Equipment

microwave safe bowl
Rubber Spatula
baking sheet
parchment paper

Ingredients

12 medium strawberries, washed and dried
6 ounces white chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. If using chocolate bars, chop them into small pieces.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate at 50% power in 15 second increments. Stir in between each interval for 15-20 seconds.
Grab your dry berries by the leaves. Dip your strawberries about ½ to 3-quarters of the way.
Set your strawberries on your baking sheet with enough space between them, so they don't touch. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes until they harden. You can chill them in the fridge so they can harden quicker.
Top the strawberries with the remaining white chocolate and enjoy! If you have a piping bag, feel free to decorate it with a few designs like swirls.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Nutrition facts are for ONE white chocolate covered strawberry.
Add coconut oil to your melted chocolate to make the consistency thinner if it is too thick.
Microwave at low heat to prevent the chocolate from melting completely. You want a little bit of thickness for it to stick to berries!
Make sure your strawberries are at room temperature when you dry and dip them. Otherwise, they may release water as they warm up, and be difficult to stick chocolate too.
If using white chocolate instead of melting wafers, be sure to add 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil or another neutral oil when tempering the chocolate, as unlike wafers, there are no additives to help it melt better.
We don't recommend using white chocolate chips, as they have stabilizers in them that prevent them from melting easily.
Double boiler method for melting the white chocolate:
- Fill a saucepan about ⅓ of the way full with water, and set a glass bowl overtop. You don't want the bottom of the bowl to touch the water, however.
- Heat the water over medium heat, and bring the water to a simmer. Add in white chocolate pieces to melt, as the steam from the water will heat the chocolate gently. Stir constantly until melted.
