Description
Indulge in the lavish experience of Gold-Dusted Chocolate Strawberries, where juicy strawberries are enveloped in rich chocolate and adorned with a shimmering touch of edible gold dust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces dark, milk, or white chocolate (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening
- Edible gold dust
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat dry.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-30 second intervals until smooth, mixing in coconut oil or shortening.
- Dip the Strawberries: Hold a strawberry by the green top and dip it into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Add the Gold Dust: While the chocolate is wet, sprinkle edible gold dust over the strawberries.
- Set Them: Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cool until the chocolate hardens (approximately 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator).
- Serve: Arrange on a platter and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
