Calories: 69kcal
Ingredients
- 125 g dark chocolate melts, see notes
- 1½ teaspoons vegetable oil, see notes
- 250 g strawberries, see notes
Optional For Drizzling
- White chocolate
Instructions
- Line a large baking tray with grease proof paper and set aside.
- Add the chocolate to the Thermomix bowl and grate for 5 sec/speed 9.
- Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and melt for 2 min/50°C/speed 2, without the measuring cup, until smooth. Add the oil and mix for 10 sec/speed 2 until glossy and fluid.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a small bowl and dip the strawberries until coated, holding them by the stem.
- Place the strawberries on the baking tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- For extra texture, sprinkle with shredded coconut or finely chopped nuts while the chocolate is still wet. Once set, drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
- Any leftover melted chocolate can be used to make chocolate freckles or a frothy hot chocolate!
Notes
Chocolate: Use chocolate melts from the baking aisle as they 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. If using coconut oil, melt it first before adding to the chocolate.
Strawberries: Ensure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping, as any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.
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.
