How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate  strawberries can easily be made and look sensational on desserts or on their own.  Below you find a simple and easy way to make these. 

As well as chocolate covered strawberries other fruits such as cherries, apples and orange segments can be dipped in chocolate.

You will need

450g (1 lb) of berries that are in season

150g (5 oz) of tempered chocolate


Wash the fruit and pat dry and place on a tray, do this several hours before to ensure that the fruit is completely dry.

Holding each piece of fruit by the stalk (or a toothpick instered into the top of the fruit), dip it into the melted chocolate. 

Allow the excess chocolate drip off.  If you wanted to coat the fruit in finely chopped nuts, coconut, contrasting chocolate sprinkles or other fine topping gently dip the fruit into it before the chocolate sets.

Place on a lined tray and allow to set for about 5 – 10 minutes.
