Ingredients
tuxedo strawberriesWhen making tuxedo strawberries, picking ripe fruit is an essential factor. Being picky is the perfect characteristic for the snack.
1 lb ripe strawberries
6 oz white chocolate bits
8 oz chocolate chips
2 tsp flavorless oil (sets depend on the number of strawberry tuxedos you’re making)
Ripe strawberries possess the exact amount of sourness and sweetness to complement the flavor of chocolate. Young strawberries are a bit sour, which doesn’t agree with white chocolate. Overripe strawberries, on the other hand, can enhance milk chocolate’s sweetness too much, making the treat less appetizing than expected.
Materials Used
Mixing chocolates with strawberries is simple. However, you need a group of cooking instruments, to ensure the blend and to create the tuxedo designs.
