Red, White & Blue Strawberries
This 4-ingredient, strawberry dessert is a simple and delicious addition to your patriotic celebrations. Perfect for President's Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, and the Fourth of July.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place blue sprinkles in a small bowl and set aside.
- Melt white chocolate morsels and coconut oil (or shortening) in a microwave-safe container for 30 seconds. Stir. Melt in additional 15-20 second increments, stirring each time.
- Use the leaves as handles, or optionally insert a toothpick into the top of each strawberry to aid with dipping. Dip the bottom ⅔ of each strawberry into white chocolate. Leave the top ⅓ of the strawberry plain, allowing for the red strawberry to show, in this red, white & blue themed treat. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl of melted white chocolate.
- Dip the white chocolate-covered strawberry into the blue sprinkles, coating just the bottom ⅓ with blue sprinkles.
- Place each strawberry on parchment paper to harden for 30 minutes and then serve.
Notes
Make Ahead: Store Red, White & Blue strawberries at room temperature for up to 1 day. After that, store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. The chocolate will "sweat" a bit in the fridge, so place the strawberries on paper towels before storing.
Tips:
- Make sure your strawberries are completely dry before dipping, or the chocolate will seize when it hits the water. (Recommended, rinse, pat dry, and then allow strawberries to dry completely for 30 minutes.)
- Be patient when heating the white chocolate in 15-20 second increments. If it overcooks it will clump up and be unusable.
