Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 drops green food coloring
- 2 tablespoons green sugar sprinkles
- 20 pieces small star-shaped sprinkles
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 sheet wax paper
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. The strawberries need to be dry for the chocolate to stick properly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add 4 drops of green food coloring to the melted white chocolate and stir until the color is uniform. Add more food coloring if you desire a deeper green shade.
Line a baking tray or flat plate with a sheet of wax paper to prevent sticking.
Hold each strawberry by the stem or use a skewer to dip it into the green-tinted chocolate, covering most of the berry but leaving the leafy top exposed. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-covered strawberry with green sugar sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet to create the appearance of 'tree needles.'
Top each strawberry with a small star-shaped sprinkle at the pointed tip to mimic a Christmas tree topper.
Gently place the decorated strawberry onto the wax paper. Repeat the process with all the strawberries.
Allow the strawberries to set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. You can also speed up the process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Once the chocolate has fully set, carefully transfer the Christmas Strawberries to a platter and serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
