Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz. pkg.) white chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon unflavored coconut oil
- 18 strawberries medium - large
Toppings:
- sprinkles
- mini chocolate chips
- chopped almonds
Instructions
- Place a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper on a baking sheet. Set prepared pan aside.
- Rinse the strawberries and dry well with paper towels, making sure there is no moisture on the berries.
- Using a double boiler, place the white chocolate into the bowl and stir in the coconut oil. (Add 1" of water into the bottom sauce pan, and place a glass or metal bowl over the top of the pan.) Set the heat to low and allow the water in the sauce pan to simmer. Note: be sure to keep the heat on low. Heating the white chocolate too fast or at too high of a heat will cause the chocolate to seize and become dry and lumpy.
- Continually stir the chocolate as it slowly melts.
- Once the white chocolate is completely melted, dip the strawberries into the melted chocolate holding the berry at the stem. Place the dipped berry onto the pan with parchment paper.
- Let the berries dry and chocolate harden at room temperature. Refrigerate the berries until ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
White chocolate options: in testing several brands of white chocolate, I discovered that white chocolate melting wafers perform the best. These melt smoothly and cover the berries well.
