You know those simple little treats that feel like a tiny celebration in your mouth? White chocolate drizzled strawberries are exactly that! I remember the first time I made these—totally on a whim for a last-minute dinner party—and everyone was hooked. The bright red of the strawberries against the creamy white chocolate drizzle just looks so fancy, but honestly, it’s incredibly easy to pull off. Plus, there’s something about biting into a juicy, fresh strawberry with that sweet, velvety white chocolate coating that’s pure magic. I’m excited to share this because it’s one of those recipes that anyone can make, whether you’ve got a sweet tooth or just want a quick, elegant dessert. Let’s get those berries ready!
6 ounces white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smoother melting)
How I Make It
Step 1:
First things first, make sure your strawberries are completely dry. Any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize up, so pat them down with a kitchen towel and let them air dry for a few minutes. This step is key for a smooth, glossy finish.
Step 2:
Next, place your white chocolate chips and the optional 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. The oil helps the chocolate melt more evenly and makes the drizzle silky. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 3:
Grab a fork or a spoon to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the strawberries. I like using a spoon and moving it back and forth quickly for a delicate, lacy pattern. If you want, you can dip strawberries halfway for a bolder chocolate coating instead—just be sure to let excess drip off.
Step 4:
Place the chocolate-drizzled strawberries on a sheet of parchment paper to set. You can pop them in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to speed things up. Once the chocolate firms up, they’re ready to enjoy!
Variations & Tips
Try adding a sprinkle of crushed nuts or coconut flakes on the chocolate before it sets for extra texture.
Mix in a bit of orange zest into the melted chocolate for a citrusy hint.
Swap white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
For an extra fancy touch, drizzle with a contrasting chocolate color (like dark chocolate) after the white chocolate sets.
If your white chocolate seizes, you can gently reheat it with a touch of oil or cream to fix the texture.
Use room temperature strawberries for better chocolate adhesion and to avoid condensation.
How I Like to Serve It
I love to bring these out at summer picnics, where the freshness of the strawberries really shines. They’re also great for Valentine’s Day or any time you want a dessert that’s light and pretty without a lot of fuss. Serve them on a pretty plate, maybe with a sprinkle of mint, and watch them disappear fast!
Notes
Store leftovers in a single layer in the fridge for up to 2 days, but best enjoyed fresh.
If the chocolate softens too much at room temperature, just pop the strawberries back in the fridge briefly.
Closing: These white chocolate drizzled strawberries always feel like a special treat, but they’re so easy and quick that you’ll want to keep this recipe in your back pocket for whenever the sweet cravings hit.
