Ingredients

• Strawberries: 20 large fresh strawberries, stems on and washed, thoroughly dried
• Chocolate Coating: 150 g dark chocolate, chopped; 100 g white chocolate, chopped; 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for sheen)
• Decoration: 2 tbsp chopped pistachios, 2 tbsp desiccated coconut, 2 tbsp heart-shaped sprinkles, 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
• Arrangement: 20 wooden skewers, florists foam or a small vase, decorative tissue paper or cellophane, ribbon for tying

Instructions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each strawberry, being careful not to pierce through the tip.

Step 3

Melt the dark chocolate and white chocolate separately in heatproof bowls over simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if using.

Step 4

Dip half of the strawberries into the dark chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Dip the remaining strawberries into the white chocolate, or drizzle white over dark for a marbled effect.

Step 6

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle some strawberries with chopped pistachios, coconut, heart sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips for variety.

Step 7

Chill the dipped strawberries in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes, until the chocolate is set.

Step 8

To assemble, cover florists foam with decorative tissue paper and place it inside a vase or container.

Step 9

Arrange the skewered strawberries in the foam, alternating heights and colors for a bouquet effect.

Step 10

Finish with a ribbon tied around the vase or skewers for a festive touch. Present immediately or keep refrigerated until gifting.
