Zupas is known for finishing every meal off with a chocolate dipped strawberry. Each fresh strawberry is hand dipped into imported Belgian chocolate (our favorite). With Valentines Day just around the corner, consider surprising your significant other on Saturday with a box of these delicacies. We’ll be selling them by the dozens at all of our locations. If you’d rather dip your own, here are our top tips for the perfect chocolate dipped strawberry.
- Always work with strawberries that have been rinsed and completely dried. Additional water could cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
- Use the best chocolate you can get your hands on…the better the chocolate, the better the dipped strawberry.
- After dipping, allow strawberries to dry in a baking sheet lined with wax paper. For even cleaner results, insert a toothpick in the top of each berry and stick carefully into styrofoam allowing the berry to dry without creating an edge.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
