Ingredients
- 12 fresh strawberries - 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips - 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips - Toothpicks - Parchment paper
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil - Sprinkles or edible glitter
Instructions
1. Begin by washing the strawberries and drying them thoroughly with a paper towel. 2. Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating them for 30 seconds at a time until they're fully melted. If you prefer, you can add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the chocolate to make it smoother. 3. Hold the strawberries by the green stem and gently dip them into the melted chocolate, swirling them around to make sure they're fully coated. 4. Carefully place the chocolate-covered strawberries onto a sheet of parchment paper, making sure they're not touching each other. 5. Once you've coated all the strawberries, place them in the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. 6. While the strawberries are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. 7. Once the white chocolate is melted, transfer it to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with the corner cut off. 8. Take one strawberry out of the fridge, and insert a toothpick into the top of the strawberry where the stem was. 9. Starting at the top of the strawberry, pipe a small white chocolate dot, and then make another dot next to it. 10. Continue piping dots around the entire top of the strawberry, making sure they're all the same size. 11. Once you've piped dots around the entire top of the strawberry, begin piping dots around the middle of the strawberry, making sure they're evenly spaced. 12. Finally, pipe dots around the bottom of the strawberry, making sure they're evenly spaced. 13. Once you've piped all the dots, carefully remove the toothpick from the strawberry and place it back onto the parchment paper. 14. Repeat steps 8-13 with the remaining strawberries. 15. Once you've decorated all the strawberries, place them back in the fridge for about 5 minutes to allow the white chocolate to harden. 16. If you'd like, you can add some sprinkles or edible glitter to the strawberries by sprinkling them on top of the white chocolate dots before they harden. 17. After the white chocolate has hardened, gently remove the toothpicks from the strawberries. 18. Your strawberry chocolate flowers are now ready to serve! Enjoy them as is, or use them to decorate a cake or other dessert.
