Description
4th of July Strawberries are a festive treat featuring fresh strawberries dipped in white chocolate and topped with vibrant red and blue sprinkles. These sweet, easy-to-make desserts are perfect for your Independence Day celebrations.
Ingredients
1 pound fresh strawberries
8 ounces white chocolate or white candy melts
4 ounces blue sprinkles
4 ounces red sprinkles
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Parchment paper (for cooling)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry for the chocolate to adhere properly.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s well-coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle the red and blue sprinkles over the chocolate-coated strawberries. You can sprinkle one color on one half and the other on the remaining half for a unique look.
- Cool: Place the dipped strawberries on parchment paper and let them set for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Optional Drizzle: For extra decoration, melt a contrasting chocolate (red or blue) and drizzle it over the set strawberries.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your 4th of July Strawberries are ready to be served and enjoyed!
Notes
For different chocolate flavors, swap the white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate.
Change the sprinkles to match any other theme or holiday.
Add a filling such as cream cheese or whipped cream for a more indulgent treat.
