Strawberries with Chocolate Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Strawberries: Look for bright, fragrant strawberries that are medium to large in size. They should be pointy and firm with green tops.
- Chocolate: I use a combination of white and dark chocolate for a layered flower look. I like white chocolate petals and a dark chocolate rim, but you can also do the reverse. Look for high-quality chocolate, and opt for dairy-free options if needed.
How to Make Strawberries with Chocolate
- Melt the white chocolate. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or in a double boiler over medium heat. Then, transfer it to a piping utensil or bag, and pipe a circle onto parchment paper.
- Pipe the flowers. Pipe a flower pattern around the circle, and fill in the flowers. Allow the chocolate to set.
- Outline. Repeat the process, melting the dark chocolate. Then, use the melted chocolate to trace the perimeter of the white chocolate flower, and let the chocolate set.
- Serve. Top the strawberries with the flowers, and enjoy!
Possible Variations
- Color the chocolate: Tint it with pink pitaya powder or freeze-dried strawberry powder to create a pink flower.
- Chocolate: Use all-white chocolate, all-dark chocolate, or opt for milk chocolate for a slightly different taste.
- Filling options: Hollow out the strawberries, pat them dry with a paper towel, and add a bit of ganache, jam, whipped cream, melted chocolate, or Nutella for a unique center.
- Garnish: Top the chocolate flowers with crushed pecans or pistachios, mini chocolate chips, coconut flakes, sprinkles, crushed freeze-dried berries, or edible glitter for a special touch.
How to Store Leftovers
Remove the chocolate flower tops and store them separately in an airtight container at room temperature, or in the fridge if your kitchen is warm. Enjoy them within 2-3 days.
FAQs
