Patriotic Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 20 fresh strawberries
02 - 140g premium white chocolate (chips or chopped bar)
03 - Blue decorating sprinkles or sanding sugar

# Instructions:

01 - Wash your strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry using paper towels. Make sure they're totally moisture-free so the chocolate adheres properly.
02 - Gently melt your white chocolate using either a double boiler or microwave on low power. If using microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round. Take your time to avoid overheating, which makes chocolate lumpy and grainy.
03 - Grab each strawberry by its green top and dip about three-quarters of it into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off any excess, then immediately roll the bottom third in blue sprinkles for that patriotic look.
04 - Arrange your decorated strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other. Pop them in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the chocolate firm up completely.
05 - Enjoy these beauties fresh from the fridge! They'll keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though they're best eaten within the first day for optimal texture.

# Notes:

01 - If your strawberries don't have stems, use a fork or toothpick to hold them while dipping
02 - No need to temper the chocolate since these are served chilled
03 - Get creative with toppings - try crushed freeze-dried strawberries or edible gold dust for extra flair
04 - Perfect make-ahead dessert for Independence Day parties
