Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Make sure no moisture remains as it can cause the chocolate to seize.
Prepare two microwave-safe bowls. In one bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening. In the second bowl, combine the white chocolate chips with the remaining 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Repeat the process for the white chocolate in its separate bowl.
Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into the bowl of melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with all the strawberries. Allow them to set for about 5 minutes.
Once the white chocolate layer has set, dip each strawberry into the melted semi-sweet chocolate at a 45-degree angle on each side, leaving a triangular section of white chocolate visible in the middle. This creates the appearance of a tuxedo. Place the strawberries back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using a toothpick or the tip of a piping bag filled with the remaining melted semi-sweet chocolate, draw small buttons and a bow tie on the white chocolate ‘shirt’ section to complete the tuxedo look.
Let the strawberries set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if you want them to set faster.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Best served fresh!
