Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Base
  • 12 oz White Chocolate Chips Choose good quality for the best results.
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (divided) Use one teaspoon in each color batch.
Strawberries
  • 2 lb Strawberries (washed and fully dried) Make sure strawberries are fresh for the best taste.
Food Coloring
  • Gel Food Color (Betty Crocker recommended) Gel works better than liquid for vibrancy.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Set aside a sheet of parchment or wax paper for the finished strawberries.
  2. Place 1 teaspoon of coconut oil into three small microwave-safe bowls.
  3. Add 4-6 drops of gel food color to each bowl and stir until vibrant.
Melting Chocolate
  1. In a microwave-safe container, melt white chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Stir, then continue melting in 15-20 second increments, stirring each time until fully melted.
Coloring the Chocolate
  1. Divide the melted white chocolate into the three bowls of colored coconut oil. Stir well until combined.
Dipping Strawberries
  1. Dip one third of the strawberries into each color, holding them by the leaves. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place on parchment paper to dry. Work with one color at a time to prevent hardening.
Drizzling
  1. Cut the very tip off three plastic sandwich bags to create piping bags. Reheat the colored chocolate for 15 seconds, stir, and fill the sandwich bag. Drizzle each color over half of the contrasting colored strawberries.
  2. Continue with the remaining colors until all strawberries are decorated.
Finishing Up
  1. Let the strawberries sit until hardened completely, about 10 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Melt chocolate in slightly smaller batches for easier handling. Avoid overheating the chocolate; it should be smooth and glossy, not thick and clumpy. For a sweet and salty twist, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
