What is the best melting chocolate for dipped strawberries?

The most popular chocolate choice for dipped strawberries is milk and dark chocolate, but don’t limit yourself. White chocolate can offer a fun alternative to make colored chocolate strawberries for Valentine’s Day and other holidays–and even making a plate of all three to switch between can be extra fun. Also, don’t be afraid to mix and match the different flavors by decorating them. For this recipe, we use our rich sugar free chocolate chips.

 

How do you get melted chocolate to stick to strawberries?

For best results for these delectable treats, make sure to wash your berries before dipping them into your melted chocolate, then carefully dry them as much as possible without damaging them. If they are not washed and dried, the chocolate will not stick to the berries, and you’ll have to start over. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil for 30 seconds. Stir then repeat until melted. Alternatively, in a non-stick saucepan, heat the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil on low heat and stir: here is a how-to guide for melting sugar free chocolate without seizing it.

 

How do I decorate chocolate covered strawberries?

One of the best things about this recipe is how much freedom you have with how you want to handle the presentation. Dip the entire strawberry into the chocolate up to right below the stem to cover it. You can either hold it by the stem or insert a skewer/toothpick into the middle of the stem to dip. Then, dip the berry into a topping of your choosing. Our go-tos are sprinkles and chopped nuts. You can also mix different colors in a bowl and drizzle over or marble them!

How do I prevent my chocolate strawberries from sticking together?

Something to keep in mind when dipping your berries is to swirl in a circular motion to remove excess chocolate before placing them down, to prevent them from becoming too large and difficult to remove from the sheet. Make sure to use wax paper, parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat for best results. Leave the strawberries at room temperature for a few minutes so that the chocolate can set.

 

How do you make Nutella™ covered chocolate strawberries?

It’s simple to add a bit of chocolate hazelnut to your dipped strawberries. Just follow the same steps, but dip into Nutella™ instead. For reference, you’ll need about ½ lb of hazelnut spread per 1 lb berries. Of course, most hazelnut spreads are full of sugars and aren’t something you can enjoy while following a low sugar diet. That’s why we suggest checking out our Nutella™ inspired chocolate spread, a perfect way to add a fun hazelnut flavor to this classic chocolate dipped snack. To take the flavor further, we recommend rolling the berries in chopped hazelnuts to finish them off! Delish!

 

Do I have to refrigerate chocolate covered strawberries?

Your chocolate covered treats don’t have to be put into the refrigerator. In fact, it can make them sweat (gain water droplets) if you do which can ruin their pretty appearance! The best way to retain the most flavor in these decadent desserts is to keep them at room temperature. However, if you are hoping for them to have a longer shelf life, or to have a refreshing, cold taste, refrigerating is the way to go! Don’t wait too long to devour these and feel free to snack on them to your heart’s desire, as fresh fruit expires quite quickly.

 

How do you create a marble effect on strawberries?

Creating a marble swirl on chocolate strawberries may look hard, but it’s quite easy. To do it, you simply need to use white chocolate as your base for this recipe. Once you melt the white chocolate, put about 3 tbsp of dark chocolate into the mix. Do not combine. Instead, swirl the two chocolate flavors with a toothpick to make a marbled pattern–be careful not to overmix, or you’ll end up with just lighter colored chocolate! Then dip the berry and lift while twisting to create a marble pattern! Swirled berries look amazing even if they barely take any extra time.

 

Can strawberries be delivered for Valentine’s Day?

Yes, you can buy chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine’s Day. Places like Edible Arrangements ship chocolate dipped fruit for Valentine’s Day. However, it is prohibitively expensive. Strawberries delivered on Valentine’s Day are also not sugar free. Likewise, Costco sells Belgian chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine’s Day. However, they are also full of sugar. This is why we suggest showing your sweetheart you care and making handmade chocolate covered strawberries. That way, they will know you really cared about them and their keto diet needs for the holiday. After all, what is more romantic than respecting someone’s desires to cut sugar and giving them a healthy dessert they want?
