Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Wash and dry the strawberries, then set them aside.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% heat, stirring in between, until fully melted.
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate and place them on parchment paper. Allow them to harden for about 10 minutes.
Using the white gel decorating pen, draw two lateral lines on the top and bottom of each strawberry and three lines in the center to resemble a football.
Let the decorated strawberries harden for about 3-4 hours before serving.
You can use white baking chips instead of a gel decorating pen if you have cake icing tips. They will harden quickly and work just as well.
Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate to ensure the coating sticks properly.
Use parchment paper to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the surface as it hardens.
Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate?
Yes, you can use dark chocolate if you prefer a less sweet flavor. The process remains the same.
How long can I store the chocolate-covered strawberries?
They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure to keep them in an airtight container.
What if I don’t have a white gel decorating pen?
You can use melted white chocolate or white baking chips with a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can make them a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
What other fruits can I use for this recipe?
You can use other fruits like bananas or apple slices, but strawberries work best for the football shape.
