Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Fresh strawberries and rich dark chocolate come together in an elegant two-ingredient dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make.
- 1 lb 454 g fresh strawberries (about 12 - 16 strawberries)
- 200 g 7 oz good-quality semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
Wash the strawberries and pat them thoroughly dry. Leave them to air-dry until no moisture remains, particularly around the leaves.
Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper.
Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well each time. When just a few pieces remain, stop heating and stir until completely smooth.
Hold each strawberry by its leaves and dip it into the chocolate. Let the excess fall back into the bowl, then place on the parchment. Continue with the remaining berries.
Leave at room temperature until the chocolate has set.
