If you have decided to mix different types of gourmet chocolates together then it is best to melt each type of chocolate
separately and then gently mix them together once they are melted. After the gourmet chocolates have been thoroughly mixed,
you will probably need to heat the chocolate again. You should also consider not mixing the chocolate together.
Instead, use one type as the main flavor for the gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries and other types as a dressing.
Using white gourmet chocolate as a dressing for strawberries dipped in
Gourmet Dark Chocolate is a popular idea.
Now comes the fun part of making gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries. You have two options. The first is to simply
hold the strawberries by the leaves and dip them one at a time into the melted gourmet chocolate. The other option
would be to remove the leaves and use a wooden skewer. (This way you can coat the entire strawberry.)
No matter which method you choose, coat each strawberry thoroughly. If you left the leaves on, do not coat them.
When removing the gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries from the melted chocolate, give them a slight clockwise
spin to remove any excess chocolate. This will also produce a nice smooth surface on the gourmet chocolate dipped
strawberries.
Next, you just place the gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries on the baking sheet to cool. At this point,
you can do lots of fun things to make the gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries even more appealing, like
dripping a different type of gourmet chocolate on them or adding candies like miniature M&Ms to them.
For the best results, set the gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries aside in a cool place until chocolate is firm.
Once firm, they are ready to be served. Homemade gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries are best served the
same day but can also be refrigerated for longer storage.
Tthe best are made by professionals but you too can make
great gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries at home. A fun idea is to buy some gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries
from a professional company and then make your own home gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries and see how they compare to the pros! Good luck and enjoy!
*Unlike
gourmet chocolate covered cherries, gourmet chocolate covered strawberries and
gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries are usually the same thing.
