White Chocolate Covered Strawberries with Crushed Nuts Topping
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 large strawberries
- 8 ounces of white chocolate
- 1/4 cup of crushed nuts (almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts)
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry before dipping in chocolate.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Chop the white chocolate into small, uniform pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the dipped strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
- Sprinkle the crushed nuts over the white chocolate-covered strawberries before the chocolate sets.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Once the chocolate is set, transfer the strawberries to a serving plate and enjoy!
White chocolate covered strawberries with crushed nuts topping have a rich history dating back to the 1920s when the combination of white chocolate and strawberries gained popularity in Europe. This delectable treat has since become a staple at upscale dessert shops and high-end restaurants, with renowned chefs like Pierre Hermé and Jacques Torres putting their own spin on the classic recipe. The dish has become a symbol of elegance and indulgence, often served at weddings, galas, and other special events. Today, the best version of this dish can be found at artisanal chocolatiers and gourmet patisseries, where the quality of the white chocolate and the freshness of the strawberries are paramount. The key to a perfect white chocolate covered strawberry with crushed nuts topping lies in the balance of sweetness from the chocolate, the tartness of the strawberries, and the crunch of the nuts, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate alternative methods such as using different types of nuts or adding a hint of sea salt to elevate the overall taste experience.
