Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the strawberries by washing and drying them thoroughly. Remove the stems and leaves, creating a flat base for each strawberry to stand on.
-
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and completely melted. Avoid overheating.
-
Add a few drops of pink food coloring to the melted chocolate and stir until the desired shade of pink is achieved.
-
Hold a strawberry by the green stem or skewer and dip it into the pink chocolate, swirling to coat the berry completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
-
Place the chocolate-coated strawberry upright on wax paper to set. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
-
Once the chocolate has hardened, pipe more melted chocolate in a circular motion around the berry starting at the base to create small overlapping rose petals, working upwards to the top.
-
Optionally, sprinkle edible pearls or colorful sprinkles in the center of the rose for decoration.
-
Insert a green paper straw or wooden skewer into the base of each strawberry to create the stem, ensuring it is secure.
-
Allow the chocolate roses to set completely before serving or packaging. Store in the refrigerator for up to two days.
