What is the best white chocolate for dipping strawberries?

These Ghirardelli melting chocolates are my favorite to work with when making fruit dipped desserts but the Ghiradelli baking bar works really nice too. I have also used white chocolate chips before too. Whatever you use, make sure it is quality!

Substitutions

There are only three ingredients in this simple recipe for white chocolate covered strawberries but there are a few ways you can change it up.

• Strawberries - Try long stemmed berries for an elegant appearance or check out pineberries for a unique look.
• Chocolate - I love using dark chocolate, but you can also use milk or white chocolate for variation.
• Oil - I like coconut oil but you can also use vegetable oil, canola oil or shortening.

Equipment

Making dipped white chocolate strawberries couldn’t be easier, and you only need a handful of basic kitchen tools to get started.

• Small bowl: For melting the white chocolate smoothly
  Spoon: To stir and mix in a little oil if needed
  Parchment paper: So your strawberries can set without sticking
  Baking sheet: Makes it easy to move your dipped strawberries around
  Piping bag (optional): Perfect for adding a neat drizzle on top for an extra decorative touch

How to Make Dipped White Chocolate Strawberries

This easy dipped white chocolate strawberries recipe takes just a few minutes of prep time so let's get started.

The most important part of this white chocolate strawberries recipe is preparing your work area and berries.

To prepare the working area, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can also use wax paper if desired.

Tip: Using a baking sheet or a tray will allow you to move the chocolate covered fruit around easier.

Fruit must be clean, room temperature and completely dry before dipping. Strawberries are super juicy, that is what makes us love it so much! However, it is important the strawberries are completely dry and room temperature before dipping.

You can use a paper towel or cloth to do the majority of the work, then I like to let them sit out and air dry for a bit as well.

Set the fruit aside and prepare the chocolate according to the package directions.

I love these Ghirardelli melting chocolates for dipping fruit! To melt the chocolate, microwave it in 15-second bursts, stirring well between each round. This helps the chocolate melt evenly and prevents it from overheating or burning.

Once the chocolate is melted, it’s time to dip your strawberries!

Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the white chocolate, covering as much or as little as you like. I love leaving a bit of the red strawberry peeking out so you can see the fruit underneath, but feel free to coat the entire berry if you prefer a fully chocolate-covered look.

After dipping, lay them out on the parchment-lined tray to harden up.

Once the first layer of chocolate has set, you can optionally go back with a piping bag or spoon to drizzle a second layer on top. This step adds a pretty, elegant touch without taking much extra time.

If you’re using melting chocolate, it should start to firm up within a few minutes. Once the chocolate is completely set, you can transfer the strawberries to a serving tray—or enjoy them straight off the parchment!

Variations

Strawberries with chocolate are simple and delicious on their own, but if you want to take things up a notch, try these fun variations for a unique twist.

• Change up the chocolate: Mix things up with white, milk, or dark chocolate for your strawberries—or make a platter with all three for a beautiful variety.
• Play with the presentation: Instead of leaving them whole, try slicing the strawberries in half before dipping for a different look and bite-sized treat.
• Strawberries on a stick: Everyone loves a dessert you can grab and go! Skewer the strawberries for an easy, portable treat that’s perfect for parties.
• Add some toppings: Sprinkle on crushed nuts, toasted coconut, or mini chocolate chips while the chocolate is still soft for an extra decadent touch.

How to Store White Chocolate Strawberries

You can store these dipped white chocolate strawberries in the refrigerator in an air tight container.

If you are giving them as a gift or Valentines surprise, I like to deliver them as soon as they are set and instruct the receiver to store them in the fridge. That way, they aren't changing temperatures too often.

How Long Will White Chocolate Strawberries Last?

When properly stored in the fridge they will last 2-3 days.

If you love frozen treats, you can also freeze them for a few months. They won’t thaw perfectly, but they make a delicious frozen snack—almost like a chocolate-covered strawberry popsicle!

Expert Tips and FAQS

I can't wait for you to try this simple summer treat. Remember these tricks when you give them a try!

• Dry the fruit completely before dipping.
• Melt the chocolate slowly to prevent seizing.
• Add a second layer of drizzle for an elegant touch.
