Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces fresh strawberries
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon orange food coloring
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Ensure that the strawberries are dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare a surface for the dipped strawberries to dry.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Add the orange food coloring to the melted white chocolate and stir until the color is uniform and resembles the color of a carrot. Adjust the amount of coloring as needed.
Hold a strawberry by the green leaves and dip it into the orange-colored melted chocolate. Twist slightly as you lift it out to let the excess chocolate drip off.
Place the dipped strawberry on the parchment paper. Repeat this process for all the strawberries.
Once all strawberries are dipped, use a spoon or fork to drizzle some additional melted orange chocolate over the strawberries in a back-and-forth motion for texture, resembling the ridges of a carrot.
Allow the strawberries to dry completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Serve immediately or store the strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy your festive Easter treats!
