Ingredients
- 20 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 200 grams White chocolate chips
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or shortening
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel, ensuring they are completely dry for the chocolate to adhere properly.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, lemon zest, and orange zest. Mix until evenly distributed and set aside. This will be your citrus sugar topping.
Step 4
Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening) into a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 5
Microwave the white chocolate mixture in 15-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Step 6
Hold each strawberry by the stem or leaves and dip it into the melted white chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the fruit.
Step 7
Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, then place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Immediately sprinkle the citrus sugar mixture over the chocolate-coated area of the strawberry before the chocolate sets.
Step 9
Repeat the dipping and sprinkling process with the remaining strawberries.
Step 10
Place the baking sheet of coated strawberries in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
Step 11
Once the chocolate is set, carefully remove the strawberries from the parchment paper and serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
