Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Soaking Stage
  • 2 pints fresh strawberries large, with stems
  • 2 cups white rum or coconut rum
Dipping Stage
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 tsp coconut oil optional, for thinning
  • 0.5 cup blue sanding sugar or sprinkles

Equipment

  • Glass Bowl (for soaking)
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Paper Towels

Method
 

  1. Wash strawberries and pat dry. Do not remove stems. Prick each berry a few times with a fork.
  2. Place berries in a large bowl and pour rum over them to submerge. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  3. Remove berries from rum and place on paper towels. Pat them thoroughly dry. Let air dry for 15 minutes.
  4. Microwave white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add coconut oil if too thick.
  5. Dip each strawberry 2/3 of the way into the white chocolate, shaking off excess.
  6. Immediately dip the bottom tip of the chocolate section into blue sprinkles.
  7. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
  8. Serve cold and enjoy responsibly!

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping or chocolate will seize.
