22 Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Desserts That Give Us Major Heart Eyes
Give us a dozen chocolate strawberries over roses any day....
Getting a bouquet of roses is cute and all... but we're really all about having a few dozen chocolate-covered strawberries this Valentine's Day (or any day, for that matter). Chocolate-covered strawberries are one of the best (and easiest!) desserts to make in a flash, but adding the combo to our recipes for pie, cake, and even egg rolls(?!) really elevates any occasion. It's simple math, really: strawberries + chocolate = good. But strawberries + chocolate + brownies? Much better. So make one of these over-the-top chocolate-covered strawberry desserts to really jazz up your Valentine's Day this year.
First things first, you can't have chocolate strawberry cheesecakes without getting your chocolate-covering technique down. Our breakdown in our chocolate-covered strawberries recipe outlines some handy tips and tricks. The process is actually pretty simple: You rinse and pat dry strawberries, then melt your chocolate. You can melt chocolate the fancy way in a double boiler (which really only sounds fancy—it's super-simple), or you can just melt it in the microwave in a heatproof bowl. The key thing here is you must make sure your strawberries are indeed dry before you proceed! That will ensure your chocolate will properly stick and avoid having any moisture to disturb all that delicious crystallization.
Now that you're basically a chocolatier, there's nothing you can't coat in chocolate! We see a lot of chocolate-covered strawberry pies in your future.
