Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Perfect for Valentine's Day or any special occasion.
- Just 3 simple ingredients and ready in 40 minutes.
Recipe Ingredients
Scroll down to the recipe card below for the quantities.
- Strawberries - ensure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping. Any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.
- Chocolate - use chocolate melts from the baking aisle as they are designed for melting. Good brands include Cadbury and Nestlé.
- Vegetable oil - the oil helps thin the chocolate slightly, giving it a smoother coating and a softer bite once set. Use a neutral flavoured oil such as sunflower or canola, or coconut oil. If using coconut oil, melt it first before adding to the chocolate.
Step-by-Step Directions
- Melt the chocolate in the Thermomix until smooth and glossy, then pour it into a small bowl. Dip each strawberry into the chocolate so that it's mostly coated.
- Place them on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Recipe Tips
- For best results, allow the strawberries to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before dipping to ensure they are completely dry.
- For extra texture, sprinkle with shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts while the chocolate is still wet, or drizzle with melted white chocolate once set.
- Any leftover melted chocolate can be used to make chocolate bark, freckles, or even a luxurious hot chocolate.
Storage
Chocolate covered strawberries are best enjoyed on the day they are made. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The strawberries will soften over time.
Common Questions
Freezing is not recommended as the strawberries become soft and watery when thawed.
The strawberries must be completely dry. Any moisture can cause the chocolate to slide off.
