Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs fresh strawberries large, stems intact
  • 2 cups white rum or coconut rum, enough to submerge
  • 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers
  • 0.5 cup blue sugar crystals or blue sprinkles

Equipment

  • Large glass bowl with lid
  • Paper Towels
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment or wax paper

Method
 

  1. Wash strawberries gently, leaving the green leafy stems intact. Pat completely dry.
  2. Place the strawberries in a large bowl. Pour rum over the berries until fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  3. Remove strawberries from the rum. Using paper towels, gently but thoroughly pat each berry completely dry. This is crucial for the chocolate to stick.
  4. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Holding the strawberry by the stem, dip it halfway into the melted white chocolate.
  6. Immediately dip the very bottom tip of the chocolate-covered strawberry into the blue sprinkles.
  7. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set. Serve chilled.

Notes

Do not skip drying the strawberries after they soak. Any lingering alcohol or moisture on the surface of the berry will cause the white chocolate to seize and slide off.
