Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:
16 oz. of strawberries
8 oz. of dark chocolate
2 oz. of white chocolate
A few drops of red food coloring
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Strawberries
Wash the strawberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut off the green stems and slice each strawberry in half lengthwise. Then, use a sharp knife to make 3 or 4 small incisions on each half, starting from the top and cutting almost to the bottom. Be careful not to cut all the way through, as you want the strawberry to stay intact.
Step 2: Creating the Strawberry Roses
Take one half of the strawberry and gently push the bottom of each petal outwards to create a rose shape. Do this for all the petals until you have a beautiful strawberry rose. Repeat this step for all the strawberry halves.
Step 3: Melting the Chocolate
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn easily. Once the chocolate is melted, add a few drops of red food coloring and stir until the chocolate is pink.
Step 4: Dipping the Strawberry Roses
Hold the stem of each strawberry rose and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover the entire strawberry. Hold the strawberry over the bowl to let the excess chocolate drip off, then place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Repeat this step for all the strawberry roses and let them cool for at least 20 minutes.
Step 5: Decorating the Strawberry Roses
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Transfer the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small hole cut in the corner. Pipe the white chocolate onto the strawberry roses in a swirling pattern to create a beautiful design.
Step 6: Serving the Strawberry Roses Chocolate
Once the white chocolate has hardened, the strawberry roses chocolate is ready to serve. You can serve them on a platter or arrange them in a vase to create a beautiful centerpiece. These strawberry roses chocolate are perfect for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or any special occasion.
