How to Make Infused Chocolate Covered Strawberries
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb organic strawberries (approximately 20 strawberries at room-temperature)
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (chopped – you may also use chocolate chips)
- 2 tablespoons of cannabis-infused coconut oil or 1 tablespoon of THC distillate
- Sheet pan/cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Rinse the strawberries well and pat them dry.
- Allow the strawberries to sit out on the counter and come to room-temperature. Make sure they are dry before applying the chocolate.
- While the strawberries are coming to room-temperature, begin to prep the cannabis-infused chocolate.
- In a medium-size glass bowl (or any other heat-safe bowl) add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, and 2 tablespoons of cannabis-infused coconut oil or 1 tablespoon of THC distillate.
- Next, grab a medium-size sauce pot, one that will allow the heat-proof bowl to sit on top, and fill it about half way with water.
- Then, place the sauce pan over low-heat on the stove top.
- Fit the heat-proof bowl containing the chopped chocolate and cannabis-infused coconut oil over the top of the sauce pot so that the bottom of the bowl sits directly above the water line – do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water, or you risk burning your chocolate!
- Bring the water in your sauce pot to a simmer, and allow the chocolate and cannabis-infused coconut oil to melt together – stirring occasionally.
- While the chocolate is melting, prep a sheet pan or cookie tray with a sheet of parchment paper.
- Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, you can begin to dip the strawberries. Dip the room-temperature and dry strawberries into the melted chocolate sauce, as far up the strawberry as you can go. When backing the strawberry out of the chocolate, make sure to twist it to swirl the “chocolate tail” back onto itself.
- Place the chocolate covered strawberry onto your prepped sheet pan and repeat the process until all of the strawberries have been dipped into the chocolate sauce.
- Place the sheet pan into your refrigerator and chill the strawberries until the chocolate is completely set and has fully hardened – approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.
