White-Chocolate Dipped Strawberries with Citrus Sugar

Chocolate dipped strawberries are good but these are beyond amazing! When I saw this recipe in the April  2010  issue of Bon Appetite magazine, I was initially intrigued by their appearance but after tasting them, I would choose these over milk or dark chocolate covered strawberries any day. 


To make them, this is what you'll need:


-2 tablespoons sugar
-1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
-1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
-6 ounces high-quality white chocolate, chopped
-16 large ripe strawberries


Line a serving tray with parchment paper

Rinse strawberries

Spread strawberries on towel to dry

Over a small plate grate orange peel, lemon peel, then add sugar

Stir ingredients until well blended.

Fill a small sauce pan 1/4 full with water. Place on the stove over low heat. 

In a small metal bowl add white chocolate pieces and place over small sauce pan.

Stir as chocolate melts slowly.

When chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove from heat.

Dip each strawberry in chocolate and place on platter. Sprinkle with citrus sugar mixture.

Cover and refrigerate to allow chocolate to harden before serving. 

OMG, YUM!!!
