Chef's Note

The key to perfect chocolate-dipped strawberries is ensuring the berries are completely dry before dipping. For an extra-glossy finish, add a small amount of coconut oil to your melted chocolate. These are best enjoyed within 24 hours, as the moisture from the strawberries will eventually cause the chocolate to soften.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries

  • 8 ounces high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa)

  • 4 ounces high-quality white chocolate

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes

  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios

  • 2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberry powder

Instructions
  • 1

    Wash strawberries thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels. Any moisture will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly. Leave stems intact for easier dipping.

  • 2

    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure strawberries are at room temperature for best results.

  • 3

    Create a double boiler by placing a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water (ensure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Add the dark chocolate and 1 tablespoon of butter to the bowl.

  • 4

    Stir the chocolate mixture gently until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to create a glossy ganache.

  • 5

    Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the chocolate, rotating to coat about 3/4 of the berry. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

  • 6

    Place dipped strawberries on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart so they don't touch.

  • 7

    For the white chocolate drizzle, create another double boiler and melt the white chocolate with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream until smooth.

  • 8

    Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small piping bag or zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.

  • 9

    Drizzle the white chocolate over half of the dipped strawberries in a decorative pattern.

  • 10

    While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle some berries with sea salt flakes, some with chopped pistachios, and dust others with freeze-dried raspberry powder.

  • 11

    Refrigerate the strawberries for 30 minutes until the chocolate is completely set.

  • 12

    For best presentation and flavor, remove from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving to take the chill off.
