Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh strawberries with green tops
- 8 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- orange gel food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash strawberries and pat them completely dry with paper towels to remove any moisture that could prevent chocolate from sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate or candy melts with coconut oil in short intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Add Color: Stir in orange gel food coloring until reaching the desired shade.
- Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the green top and dip into the orange chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Create Texture: For a ‘carrot’ texture, drizzle extra orange chocolate over each dipped strawberry using a fork or piping bag.
- Set the Coating: Place strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let sit at room temperature or refrigerate until coating is set.
Notes
- Avoid using liquid food coloring as it can cause the chocolate to seize—gel coloring works best.
- Serve the same day for the freshest texture.
