How to Make Pastel Drizzle Strawberries (Step-by-Step)

Alright, let’s get this party started! First, we’ll prep the ingredients, then have some fun with the pastel drizzle, and finally, chill out while the chocolate sets.

Step 1: Prep Work

First, give your fresh strawberries a gentle rinse and pat them dry. You want them nice and clean so the chocolate can work its magic. 🧹 Next, melt that creamy white chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave (just be sure to stir it often and not let it burn!). 🍫

Step 2: Main Cooking Process

Now comes the fun part — the pastel drizzle! Grab your food coloring and add a few drops to the melted chocolate, stirring to incorporate. Start with just a little and add more until you reach your desired shade. 🎨 It’s time to get artsy! Gently dip each strawberry into the colored chocolate, letting the excess drip off. 🍓

Step 3: Final Steps/Assembly

Carefully place your pastel-dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the fridge to set. 🧊 While they’re chilling, you can do a little happy dance — you’re almost there! 💃 Once the chocolate has hardened, you’re ready to serve these beauties to your adoring fans. 🙌

Step 4: Enjoy!

Now that your Pastel Drizzle Strawberries are ready, it’s time for the grand finale — digging in! Grab a plate, gather your crew, and get ready for some seriously happy taste buds. 😋 These babies are about to become the star of the show, whether you’re serving them as a fancy dessert or just treating yourself to an afternoon snack.

How to Know It’s Done (No Guessing)

Look for the chocolate coating to be smooth, glossy, and firmly set.

Look for

• Smooth, glossy chocolate coating
• Firm, set texture when you gently touch the strawberries
• Vibrant, even color on the dipped portion

Avoid

• Streaky or uneven chocolate coverage
• Soft, melty texture (the chocolate should be hard)

If it’s too… here’s the fix

• Too soft — Do a quick chill in the fridge to help the chocolate set.
• Too thick and hard to dip — Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.

Optional temp note (only if it makes sense): Not needed here — visual cues are enough.

What to Do If It Goes Wrong (Fix-It Guide)

No need to panic! Almost everything is fixable with a few simple tweaks.

• Too salty — Not applicable for this recipe
• Too dry — Not applicable for this recipe
• Too runny — Add a bit more melted chocolate to thicken it up
• Not browning — Not applicable for this recipe

Good news: almost everything is fixable. Panic is optional. 😌
