Ingredients
Base Ingredients (For 12 strawberries):
12 large fresh strawberries (organic, washed and dried thoroughly)
200g premium dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa, preferably Belgian or Swiss)
50g white chocolate (for decorative drizzle)
Luxury Toppings (Optional but Recommended):
1 tbsp edible gold flakes or gold leaf sheets
2 tbsp crushed pistachios (unsalted, finely chopped)
1 tbsp dried edible rose petals
1 tsp edible pearls or glitter (food-safe)
Flavor Enhancers (Optional):
2 drops rose essence or orange blossom water (add to melted chocolate for an Arabian twist)
½ tsp cardamom powder (can be mixed with pistachios or white chocolate for flavor layering)
Instructions
Step 1: Wash and Dry the Strawberries
Rinse strawberries gently under cold water. Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel. Ensure no moisture remains—this is essential for smooth chocolate coating.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Break dark chocolate into pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth. Repeat for white chocolate in a separate bowl. Optional: Add 1–2 drops of rose essence for added flavor.
Step 3: Dip the Strawberries
Hold each strawberry by the stem or insert a skewer. Dip into the melted dark chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 4: Decorate Immediately
While the chocolate is still wet: drizzle with melted white chocolate using a spoon or piping bag, sprinkle with crushed pistachios, rose petals, or edible pearls, and gently apply edible gold leaf with tweezers for a luxe finish.
Step 5: Chill to Set
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for 25–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
Step 6: Serve or Gift
Arrange strawberries in a decorative box or serve on a luxury platter. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Use couverture chocolate for best melt and shine.
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping—any moisture causes chocolate to seize.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate and plant-based decorations.
