Strawberry Tuxedo

Is there a better way to eat strawberries than to just dip them in powdered sugar?

Well, of course there is. It is to dip them in chocolate twice.

 

STRAWBERRY TUXEDO

Ingredients

  • 15 strawberries
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 3 ounces white chocolate

Method

  1. Chop chocolates and place in separate bowls.
  2. Place these bowls over a pot of barely simmering water and let stand until melted.
  3. Stir until smooth, set aside and let cool for a few minutes.
  4. Dip strawberries in white chocolate and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  5. Dip sides of the strawberries in bitter chocolate. Back to the refrigerator for 10 more minutes.
  6. Dip a thin paint brush in bitter chocolate and draw the bow tie and buttons.

    cenk..this is awesome!!! looks sooooo yummy and classy…and i truly think that this is the most simple yet creative one of all the “eat strawberry” theme creations…i wish we could have those giant strawberries that they sell in U.S. but the ones that are sold in turkey are relatively smaller 🙁 looks great for after dinner 🙂

    Keiko – Thank you very much for the encouraging comment.
    Swell – I also wish we had the giant strawberries in Turkey, too. I remember the ones that were sold in Pier 39 in San Francisco.. they were nearly the size of a tennis ball.

    That looks really great – I can only imagine the patience you had to have to paint those strawberries!

    Also, if you have a candy thermometer, the proper way to temper chocolate for dipping is to raise it to 100 and then lower it to 89 (where you dip)

    The design looks amazing despite the simple preparation – and yes, they look really delicious! I love chocolate myself and having it would certainly enhance the taste of strawberries!
