Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable shortening
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry to help the chocolate adhere properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Melt the white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening in a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir continuously until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted.
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate, covering about 3/4 of the strawberry. Let any excess chocolate drip off and place the strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Allow the white chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results.
Melt the semisweet chocolate chips with the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening using the same double boiler or microwave method.
Dip each white chocolate-coated strawberry into the semisweet chocolate at an angle, first on one side and then on the other, creating a “V” shape to mimic the lapels of a tuxedo. Let any excess chocolate drip off and return the strawberry to the baking sheet.
Using a small piping bag or the edge of a spoon, drizzle small dots of semisweet chocolate onto the white chocolate to create buttons for the tuxedo. Draw a small bow tie shape near the top of the white part of the strawberry.
Allow the tuxedo strawberries to set completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Serve your Chocolate Covered Tuxedo Strawberries on a decorative platter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
