Ingredients
  

  • 20 medium strawberries, about 1/2 pound or 227g (8 oz), washed, dried, and at room temperature
  • 3 ounces or 85g (3 oz) semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • for Perfect Dipping
  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping. Any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
  • Use room-temperature strawberries. Cold berries will cause the chocolate to set too quickly and may not adhere properly.
  • For the best texture, serve these the same day they are made. The strawberries will release moisture over time, affecting the chocolate shell.
  • If your chocolate begins to harden while dipping, simply reheat it gently over the double boiler or in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.

Method
 

  1. Prepare your station: Gently wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry with paper towels, leaving the green hulls intact.
  2. Line a baking sheet or large platter with wax or parchment paper. 2. Melt the chocolate: Using a double boiler over low heat, gently melt the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and glossy. 3.
  3. Dip with care: Holding a strawberry by its hull, dip the bottom two-thirds into the melted chocolate, leaving the top third bare. Allow any excess to drip off before placing it on your prepared wax paper. 4.
  4. Chill to set: Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
