Servings: 12 froggies
Calories: 58kcal
Equipment
- 1 knife, for drizzling chocolate
- 3 microwave-safe bowls, 1 medium, 2 small
- 3 small silicone spatulas, or spoons or knives to stir chocolate
- wax or parchment paper
Ingredients
For the matcha white chocolate strawberries:
- 12 strawberries, rinsed and completely dried
- 10 ounces Ghiradelli white chocolate melting wafers
- ½-1 tablespoon matcha powder, adjust to taste
- toppings, finely chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, etc.
For froggie decorations:
- 2-3 pieces Ghiradelli milk or dark chocolate melting wafers
- pink or red food coloring, oil-based is best, but see steps if you have regular food coloring
Instructions
For the matcha white chocolate strawberries:
- Line baking tray with wax paper.
- Insert toothpicks in the top of each strawberry and line up the strawberries on your tray. The toothpicks will be your handles for dipping.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add 10 oz of Ghiradelli white chocolate melting wafers. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- Set about 1 tbsp of melted chocolate aside in a small microwave-safe bowl. Dye with pink or red food coloring. If using oil-based food coloring, the chocolate will not seize. If using regular food coloring, the chocolate may seize and thicken. You can reverse this by stirring in ½-1 tsp of neutral oil (canola, vegetable) until it smooths out.
- To the remaining melted white chocolate, mix in ½-1 tbsp matcha powder, adjusting to taste.
- For froggie matcha chocolate strawberries, dip halfway into matcha white chocolate, gently scrape excess chocolate off the rim of bowl, then set on lined tray. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, which should take about 5 minutes.
- For regular matcha chocolate strawberries, fully dip into matcha white chocolate, gently scrape excess chocolate off the rim of bowl, then set on lined tray. If using toppings, add while chocolate is still wet. If drizzling chocolate on top, let chocolate on strawberry dry first. Then, use a knife to drizzle extra chocolate on top. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, which should take about 5 minutes.
For froggie decorations:
- Use a toothpick dipped in the matcha chocolate to draw on eyes on all of the frogs.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 2-3 pieces of the Ghiradelli milk or dark chocolate. Dip a toothpick in it and use this to draw on pupils and smiles.
- If necessary, reheat the pink/red white chocolate until melted. Use a toothpick dipped in this to draw on blush.
- Enjoy!
