white chocolate covered strawberries recipe
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 20–25 strawberries (4–5 servings) 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
This sophisticated matcha white chocolate covered strawberries recipe combines sweet white chocolate, fresh strawberries, and earthy matcha for a gourmet dessert that is easy to prepare at home.
Ingredients
- 450 g (1 lb) fresh strawberries, medium to large, firm, with stems intact
- 300 g good quality white chocolate, chopped
- 10 g (2 teaspoons) ceremonial grade matcha powder, divided
- 15 g (1 tablespoon) refined coconut oil or vegetable shortening
- 2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) alcohol-free vanilla extract, optional
Instructions
- Prep Strawberries and Workspace: Gently wash and thoroughly pat each strawberry completely dry with paper towels, ensuring the stems remain intact; line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Melt White Chocolate Coating: Place 250 g of the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a small saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bowl bottom does not touch the water. Stir gently until mostly melted and smooth, then turn off the heat.
- Create Matcha Paste and Combine: In a separate small bowl, combine 8 g (1.5 teaspoons) of matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of the melted white chocolate to form a smooth paste. Add the matcha paste, coconut oil, and optional vanilla extract back into the main bowl and stir until fully combined and glossy.
- Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by its stem and dip into the warm matcha-infused white chocolate, rotating to ensure even coating while leaving a small amount of space near the stem. Gently lift and allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Chill and Set First Coating: Place the dipped strawberry on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for all remaining strawberries, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes until the coating is firm to the touch.
- Add Drizzle and Dusting: Melt the remaining 50 g plain white chocolate using the same double boiler method. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off. Drizzle the plain white chocolate over the set green coating, and immediately dust with the remaining 2 g (0.5 teaspoon) matcha powder for an ethereal finish.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping; moisture causes chocolate to seize. Use high-quality white chocolate bars or wafers, avoiding chips. To prevent clumping, create a smooth matcha paste separately before adding it to the main chocolate mixture.
