Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 Strawberries
- 250 grams White chocolate
- Oil-based orange food colouring (a few drops)
Instructions
- Prepare Tray: Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper to prevent the dipped strawberries from sticking and to allow them to set properly.
- Melt White Chocolate: Break the white chocolate into a heat-safe bowl or jug. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate over a pan of simmering water, ensuring to avoid overheating as white chocolate can burn easily.
- Add Color: Stir in a few drops of oil-based orange food colouring to the melted white chocolate until the color is bright and evenly distributed.
- Dip Strawberries: Hold the leafy end of each strawberry and dip it into the colored white chocolate, covering it thoroughly. Place the dipped strawberries on the prepared baking tray.
- Drizzle and Set: Drizzle any leftover orange chocolate over the strawberries for extra decoration. Refrigerate the tray for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Serve or Decorate: Enjoy the strawberry carrot treats immediately or use them as charming decorations atop your Easter baked goods.
Notes
- Use oil-based food colouring to avoid seizing the chocolate.
- White chocolate should be melted gently to prevent burning.
- Ensure strawberries are dry before dipping to help chocolate adhere better.
- Store prepared strawberries in the fridge if not serving immediately to keep chocolate firm.
