Ingredients
"Always use couverture chocolate" advises Foodie, in the article 'What chocolate is best for Chocolate-covered Strawberries?'
"Couverture chocolate is high in cocoa butter which means it melts beautifully, coats evenly, and sets with that irresistible glossy finish." Chocolate high in cocoa butter content has a better taste and texture, and couverture, at a minimum, will contain 31% cocoa butter."
- Couverture chocolate
- Thoroughly dried strawberries
- 2 tbsp shortening optional
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and together with 2 Tbsp shortening (optional) on a stovetop, stir constantly.
- Dip the strawberries in the chocolate.
- Allow the chocolate to harden.
