Prepare
Ingredients
- 520 g FunCakes White Chocolate Melts
- 125 g FunCakes White Deco Melts
- 75 g FunCakes Purple Deco Melts
- FunCakes Halloween chocolate decoration (knife)
- Large fresh strawberries
Necessities
- FunCakes disposable piping bags
- FunCakes parchment paper sheets
- Digital food thermometer
Step 1: Prepare the strawberries
Wash the strawberries carefully and dry them thoroughly using paper towels. They must be completely dry so the chocolate sticks properly.
Step 2: Temper the white chocolate
Melt 500 g of FunCakes White Chocolate Melts in the microwave or over a bain-marie, following the instructions on the packaging. Let the melted chocolate cool down to about 41°C. Add the remaining 20 g of chocolate and stir until fully melted. Then let it cool further to around 27–28°C, the ideal working temperature. Properly tempered chocolate will be shiny, firm when set, and won’t develop a white coating. If the chocolate is not tempered, it may look dull and softer, although the taste stays the same.
Step 3: Dip the strawberries
Dip the strawberries into the chocolate, leaving the top uncovered (this is where the decoration will go later). Gently shake off excess chocolate and place them on parchment paper. Let them set in the refrigerator. For a deeper purple effect, add more purple Deco Melts.
Step 4: Decoration
Melt the purple Deco Melts and pour them into a piping bag. Cut a small tip and drizzle a zigzag pattern over the coated strawberries.
Step 5: Finishing touch
Make a small slit in the uncoated top of each strawberry using a sharp knife. Carefully insert the chocolate knife decoration. Place each strawberry into a mini baking cup for serving.
