To make blue chocolate covered strawberries, you will need melted white chocolate and blue gel food color. Start by dividing the melted white chocolate in half and placing each portion into two small bowls. This will ensure that you have enough chocolate for all the strawberries and that you can easily mix in the blue food color.
Next, add 6 to 10 drops of blue gel food color to one of the bowls containing the melted white chocolate. The amount of food color you use will depend on how vibrant you want the blue color to be. If you prefer a lighter shade of blue, start with fewer drops and gradually add more until you achieve the desired color.
Once you’ve added the blue gel food color, stir the chocolate vigorously with a spoon until the color is thoroughly blended. It’s important to ensure that the color is evenly distributed throughout the chocolate to avoid any streaks or uneven coloring on the strawberries.
Now, it’s time to prepare the strawberries. Hold one strawberry by the stem and dip it into the bowl of blue melted white chocolate. Use a swirling motion to coat the strawberry completely, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Make sure the entire strawberry is coated in the blue chocolate for a beautiful and uniform look.
Place the chocolate-covered strawberry onto a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper to set. Repeat this process with the remaining strawberries, dipping each one into the blue chocolate and placing them on the baking sheet.
Once all the strawberries are coated, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set completely. This will ensure that the chocolate stays in place and doesn’t melt when handling the strawberries.
After the chocolate has set, you can serve your blue chocolate covered strawberries as a delightful and visually appealing treat. They make a perfect addition to dessert platters, parties, or even as a special surprise for a loved one.
If you want to add a decorative touch, you can also drizzle some melted white chocolate or even a contrasting color of melted chocolate over the blue coating. This will create a beautiful marbled effect and add an extra layer of flavor to the strawberries.
Making chocolate covered strawberries blue is a simple process that involves melting white chocolate, adding blue gel food color, and coating the strawberries in the blue chocolate. It’s a fun and creative way to add a pop of color to a classic treat. Enjoy experimenting with different colors and decorations to make your chocolate covered strawberries truly unique and delicious.
