For a smoother chocolate coating, use high-quality chocolate with a higher cocoa butter content. If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a microwave. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat. To prevent the chocolate from seizing, avoid getting any water or steam into the melting chocolate. Experiment with different toppings such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or sea salt for added flavor and texture.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare your strawberries: Gently wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Ensure they are completely dry, as moisture will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Melt the chocolate: In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water), combine the milk chocolate chips and shortening. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Dip the strawberries: Insert a toothpick into the stem end of each strawberry. Holding the strawberry by the toothpick, dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat completely. (15 minutes)

05 Step
Recipe View Chill and set: Allow the chocolate to cool and harden completely. This can be done at room temperature (approximately 30-60 minutes) or in the refrigerator for a quicker set (approximately 15-20 minutes).
06 Step
Recipe View Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, remove the toothpicks and arrange the strawberries artfully on a platter. Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of fruit and chocolate!
