Chocolate-dipped strawberries are perfect for gifting for occasions like Valentine's Day, Christmas, anniversaries, or just even a get-together. You can also freeze them and treat yourself when you crave something sweet. Check out how to make frozen chocolate-covered strawberries with white chocolate or dark chocolate using an instant pot as a double boiler.
To make frozen chocolate-dipped strawberries, cut the green portion, or else skip it.
Instant Pot as double boiler
Put 2 cups of water in the instant pot liner.
Turn on saute mode on the normal setting for 10 minutes.
Place a stainless steel or a glass bowl over the instant pot.
Put melting chocolate wafers in the bowl.
Mix the chocolate wafers with a spatula until it is melted and smooth.
Turn the saute mode to low. (if water starts boiling, turn off the instant pot by pressing cancel)
Making chocolate coated strawberries
Line a tray with wax paper.
Hold the strawberry from the top green part and dip it into the melted chocolate. (if you cut the greens then use a fork to dip the strawberries completely into the chocolate)
Turn it sideways so that the chocolate gets coated evenly on all sides.
Place the chocolate-dipped strawberry on the tray lined with wax paper.
Optionally decorate it with sprinkles.
Repeat above steps for all strawberries one by one.
Allow them to dry for 10-15 minutes or in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Freeze the strawberries for 30 minutes in the freezer.
Transfer to a ziplock bag and store it in the freezer for up to a month.
