What makes chocolate covered strawberries such a reliable Mother's Day treat is that the technique is simple enough for almost anyone to do at home, but the result looks and tastes genuinely special. The real secret is in the chocolate, because good quality melting chocolate or a properly tempered coating makes the difference between a glossy, snappy shell and something that looks dull and waxy before it even cools.
Beyond the classic dipped berry, this list includes recipes that take the flavor combination in completely different directions, like Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies, Chocolate Covered Strawberry Chia Pudding with a magic shell, and cupcakes that capture the same combination in a totally different format.
Top Tips
- Dry your strawberries completely before dipping. Any moisture on the surface of the berry will cause the chocolate to seize or slip off in clumps. After washing, pat them dry and let them sit out at room temperature on a paper towel for at least 30 minutes before you start dipping.
- Use a tall, narrow container for dipping instead of a wide bowl. You want enough depth to fully submerge the berry in one smooth motion, and a wide shallow bowl makes that almost impossible without using a huge amount of chocolate. A tall drinking glass or a deep jar works really well.
- Let the chocolate cool slightly before dipping. Chocolate that is too hot will run off the berry in thin, uneven sheets instead of coating it evenly. Give it a minute or two after melting to thicken just slightly, and you will get a much more even shell.
- For pink or colored chocolate, use oil-based food coloring only. Water-based food coloring will cause chocolate to seize and turn grainy immediately. If you want pink, white, or any other color, you need gel or oil-based color specifically made for chocolate or candy coating.
- Set dipped strawberries on parchment paper, not wax paper. Wax paper can stick to the chocolate as it sets and peel off a chunk of your coating when you lift the berry. Parchment releases cleanly every time and is worth having on hand whenever you are working with melted chocolate.
