How To Make White Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Strawberries: one of the richest and most chosen fruits around the world. We can have them alone, with sugar, with lemon or orange juice, with meringue or dulce de leche, and in many other ways. There are cakes with strawberry filling and there are strawberry jams. Hey, there’s even people who include them in salads, because of their acidity. Truth is, no matter what we combine them with, strawberries always taste good.

One of the most popular ways to eat strawberries is by dipping them in chocolate. If you’ve had the chance to visit Belgium, we assume you must have tried its famous strawberry cones covered in chocolate which, by the way, are absolutely delicious.

But hey! You don’t need to travel as far as Belgium to be able to try this. After reading this post, you’ll be able to prepare white chocolate covered strawberries at home. 

Step by step recipe to prepare white chocolate covered strawberries

1. Wash the strawberries very well and dry them. It is important for them to be dry before you continue with the next step.

2. Melt the pastry bath. You can put the container in the microwave for 30 seconds or cook it in a double boiler for about 10 minutes until it is melted. Then place the melted chocolate in a bowl.

3. Bathe the strawberries with chocolate. (To make this step easier, you can place a toothpick on the top of the strawberries or use a fork). Grab the strawberries by the toothpick and dip them in the chocolate until they are almost completely covered. Then place them on a plate with aluminum foil and let them cool for a few minutes in the refrigerator.

5. Enjoy! The dipped strawberries are now ready to be eaten.

Extra TIP: If you want to make them even more delicious, you can make a small cut in the middle of the strawberries (without dividing them completely) and fill them with dulce de leche - all before bathing them in chocolate. 

You can buy this dulce de leche and many other ingredients from Latin America at Latinafy. Just choose what you want and receive your box at your doorstep in the next few days.
