Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Strawberries
- 4 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 2 ounces White chocolate
- 12 pieces Toothpicks or skewers
Instructions
Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Ensure they are completely dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
Using a syringe or culinary injector, carefully inject about 1 teaspoon of Grand Marnier into each strawberry. Insert the needle from the top near the stem to avoid visible holes.
Insert a toothpick or skewer at the top of each strawberry to create a handle for dipping.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler for melting.
Hold the strawberry by the skewer and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
While the strawberries are setting, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler using the same method.
Once the dark chocolate coating is set, use a fork or piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the strawberries for decoration.
Refrigerate the strawberries for an additional 10 minutes to allow the white chocolate drizzle to harden.
Remove the toothpicks or skewers before serving and enjoy these delightful, boozy treats!
