Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh long stem strawberries
  • 12 oz premium white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp edible rose gold luster dust
  • 1 tsp vodka or lemon extract

Instructions:

  1. Wash and dry. Rinse your 1 lb of strawberries carefully, but do not remove the stems. Note: They must be 100% dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  2. Melt the chocolate. Place 12 oz white chocolate chips and 1 tsp coconut oil in a glass bowl. Heat in 30 second bursts until 75% melted.
  3. Stir until smooth. Use a spatula to stir the remaining lumps until the mixture is silky and flows like ribbons.
  4. Prepare the station. Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper on a flat baking sheet.
  5. Dip the berries. Hold a strawberry by the stem, dip it into the chocolate, and swirl gently. Lift and let the excess drip off until it stops flowing.
  6. Set the base. Place the berry on the parchment and repeat with the rest. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes until firm.
  7. Mix the paint. In a small dish, mix 1 tbsp luster dust with 1 tsp vodka. Note: It should be the consistency of heavy cream.
  8. Paint the gold. Dip your soft brush into the gold mixture and apply it to the cold chocolate in long, even strokes.
  9. Allow to dry. The alcohol will evaporate in about 2 minutes, leaving a stunning metallic shell.
  10. Final touch. Apply a second coat if you see any white chocolate peeking through.
