Chocolate coated strawberries are perfect example of "practice makes a man perfect". I first ate Chocolate Coated Strawberries at my PhD Advisor's place and they certainly looked exotic. I was told that they are easy to make. After several attempts, I finally feel that they are easy to make:)
Below are some tips/steps that would make it easier: (Yield -10 Large or 20 small strawberries)
- Wash strawberries and dry them thoroughly by paper towel.
- Use double boiler (I don't have one) or create one using a wide & deep pan and a steel bowl which fits well onto the circumference of the pan. Add 2-3 cups of water in the pan (make sure that the bowl fits well and is not floating. If water is in excess,remove some) and start boiling it without the bowl. When water starts boiling, put the bowl on the pan and turn off the gas after two minutes. Add 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips/chunk (I use nestle brand).
- You will notice that chocolate starts melting soon. Stir the chocolate couple of times with a spoon until completely melted. It should not take more than 5 mins. Now you can quickly start coating the strawberries
- Insert a wooden BBQ stick on the top of stawberry and dip it about three-quarter of the way and put it on a plate covered with wax paper. Repeat it for all the strawberries. You can approximately make 10 big strawberries or 20 small one with this.
-Put the plate in the refrigerator for 30 mins to an hour. Take them out and they are ready to serve.
