How to Decorate Strawberries for Easter – Your 12 step guide
Step 1 – Clean your strawberries
Damp a piece of paper towel roll and gently wipe over your strawberries, to remove any dirt, but you don’t want to soak them because you don’t want them to absorb too much moisture.
Step 2 – Prepare your strawberries for dipping
Place a toothpick in the centre of the green of each of your strawberries as this will help you to lift your strawberries in and out of the chocolate when you are dipping.
Step 3 – Prepare your chocolate
Break up your chocolate and put it in a heat proof bowl, then heat it in the microwave in 10 seconds bursts, you work in short burst because you don’t want to burn your chocolate. Make sure you give the chocolate a stir as you go after every 10 second as this will make sure the chocolate heats evenly.
Step 4 – Colour your chocolate
Once your chocolate has melted add your oil based or powder food colouring and mix this in to get your desired colour. Remember always start with less colour and increase the colour rather than go in with too much to start with.
Step 5 – Line baking sheet
Cut a piece of grease proof / parchment paper and lay this on a baking sheet so it’s ready to place your strawberries on once they have been dipped.
Step 6 – Prepare for dipping
Pick up your strawberries gently lifting the green up around the toothpick so they are ready for dipping and dip these into your melted chocolate
Step 7 – Dip your strawberries
Dip your strawberries into the melted chocolate, giving them a little swirl to make sure they are fully covered then carefully lift it out. Hold the covered strawberries above the melted chocolate and let the excess drip off, you can give this a little shake, if needed and then place on your parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 8 – Set the chocolate
Pop the strawberries in the fridge for about 15 minutes to set.
Step 9 – Re-heat chocolate
Re-melt your chocolate and then repeat step 7 to give your strawberries a double dip.
Step 10 – Prepare detail chocolate
Melt some more chocolate, or use what you have left and this time colour it a slightly darker orange.
Step 11 – Prepare to pipe
Place your melted chocolate into a piping bag, snip off the end and then drizzle this back and forward to create the line details that carrots have on them.
Step 12 – Final set
Place in the fridge to set and then add to your desert platter or package as gifts and wait for the compliments!
