Instructions
Prepare the Strawberries:
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure that the strawberries are completely dry before dipping them into the chocolate, as any excess moisture can prevent the chocolate from adhering.
Melt the Pink Chocolate:
Place the pink chocolate (or white chocolate with pink food coloring) in a heatproof bowl.
You can melt the chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler:
Microwave Method: Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until it’s fully melted and smooth.
Double-Boiler Method: Fill a pot with a small amount of water and place a heatproof bowl on top (making sure it doesn’t touch the water). Stir the chocolate constantly as it melts.
Add Coconut Oil (Optional):
If you want a smoother texture, add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate and stir until fully incorporated.
Dip the Strawberries:
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted pink chocolate. Coat about three-quarters of the strawberry, letting any excess chocolate drip off before placing the strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Decorate (Optional):
If desired, sprinkle the dipped strawberries with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or edible glitter for extra decoration. You can also drizzle some additional melted chocolate (white or dark) over the pink chocolate for contrast.
Let the Chocolate Set:
Place the baking sheet with the dipped strawberries in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the chocolate to harden.
Serve:
Once the chocolate has fully set, your pink chocolate strawberries are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them on a platter for a special occasion or package them in a gift box for a thoughtful treat.
