Simple as it is – just chocolate and strawberries. Fresh strawberries are dipped in melted chocolate so that the chocolate makes a thin coat over the strawberries. Let the chocolate-coated strawberries stand in the fridge for just a few minutes, you will get a very impressive dessert.
I hadn’t known about the chocolate-dipped fruits until I went to Oktoberfest in Germany where I, for the very first time, was introduced to a white chocolate-dipped strawberry. My exchange friends recommended me to try these dipped strawberries and I was amazed about the texture and the fascinating combination of the two classic things.
I just used the normal baking chocolate to make these strawberries. After melting the chocolate with a double boiler, I dipped the strawberries in and placed them on a sheet of aluminum foil. After resting for a few minutes in the fridge, the chocolate-dipped strawberries could be taken out very easily.
Sometimes I made this chocolate-coated strawberries to decorate other cakes. They make the cake more classic and elegant.
