Chocolate Strawberry Hearts
Learn how to make the cutest Heart Shaped Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate ... so easy and so delicious!
Servings: 20 strawberries
Calories: 28kcal
Ingredients
- 10 strawberries
- 1 (3.5-ounce / 100 gram) bar dark chocolate bar
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Wash and dry strawberries. Use fingers to pluck off leaves.
- Slice a small v-shape in the stem-end of the strawberry to create a heart shape. Cut strawberries in half, then place cut side down on a paper towel.
- Carefully push a skewer into each strawberry half.
- Break chocolate bar into small pieces, then transfer to a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then mix. Continue microwaving at 10 second intervals, stirring well in between, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip strawberries in chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place berries cut side down on parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
- Refrigerate strawberries until chocolate has hardened, about 20 to 30 minutes (or freeze for 10 minutes).
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days. Enjoy!
Notes
I'd recommend buying an extra chocolate bar or two. That way, if you're a little short on chocolate (or want to cover more berries), you'll have a backup bar.
You can use any kind of chocolate for this recipe, but I prefer dark chocolate. I used a Lindt 70% Cocoa Bar, but this Ghirardelli 86% Cacao Bar would also work great, if you like super dark chocolate.
Using the skewers is optional, but it makes the berries easier to dip and more fun to serve. If you don't want to use skewers, carefully dip the berries in the chocolate with a fork instead.
