White Chocolate Coated Strawberries

For a decadent treat, try this simple recipe to make a punnet of fresh strawberries into something really special.

Ingredients

250g Punnet of fresh Strawberries.

150g White chocolate buttons.

Directions

Step 1

Melt the chocolate. I use a microwave oven to do this with 30 second bursts at 30% power, stirring between each burst.

See our How to Melt Chocolate page for the details on how to melt the chocolate if you don't have a microwave oven available.

Step 2

Gently lift the strawberry leaves so that you can use them as a sort of handle during the coating process. Once you have hold of the leaves, dip the strawberry into the chocolate and use a teaspoon to coat the entire berry right up to the leaves.

Step 3

Once coated, put the Strawberries on a plate lined with grease proof paper to dry. Once all of the Strawberries are coated place the plate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so that the chocolate sets completely.

Step 4

Remove from the refrigerator and serve. They are very good when accompanied with a Coffee after a meal.
