Choc coated Strawberries
These always feature on my fruit platters. Not only are they visually appealing, they’re a crowd favourite every time.
Just make sure you make more than you need… I can guarantee that some won’t make it onto the platter because you won’t want to wait that long!
Ingredients
500g strawberries
200g Lindt 70% smooth blend dark chocolate
50g Sweet William white chocolate
Method
Wash the strawberries and dry them on a clean tea towel.
Break the dark chocolate into small chunks and put them into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds on high, stir and then microwave for additional 30 second intervals until melted, stirring in between.
Pick up a strawberry by firmly gripping the leaves and then dip 3/4 of the strawberry into the dark chocolate (see video above). Place onto a plate lined with baking paper and repeat until you have coated all of the strawberries. Place them into the fridge for 5 minutes to set.
Meanwhile, break the white chocolate in small chunks and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until melted, then pour the white chocolate into a small snaplock bag. Push the chocolate down into one corner, twist the top of the bag so no chocolate can escape back out the top and snip a small hole in the corner of the bag.
Remove the strawberries from the fridge and drizzle the white chocolate over each one in a zigzag pattern. Refrigerate for another 5 mins, or until set.
