Caramel Dipped Strawberries Recipes

SALTED CARAMEL STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• To prepare strawberries do not remove green caps before washing. Water will seep into the berry, softening the texture and weakening the flavor. Wash strawberries just before using then patting dry with paper towels. (Caramel mixture will not stick to wet strawberries.).
• Microwave caramels, 3 tablespoons whipping cream and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl at MEDIUM (50% power) for 3 1/2 minutes or until smooth, stirring at 1-minute intervals.
• Dip each strawberry halfway into caramel mixture. Roll in nuts and place on lightly greased wax paper. Let stand for 15 minutes. Serve immediately or cover and chill up to 8 hours.

CHOCOLATE SALTED CARAMEL STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Using a double boiler, slowly melt chocolate over medium-low heat:
• You can also melt the chocolate in a microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!
• Using completely dried strawberries, dip each strawberry, one by one, into the melted chocolate:
• Coat the strawberries, but do not completely immerse the berries in the chocolate. Lay each chocolate coated berry onto the prepared pan after dipping.
• In a medium saucepan combine caramel and heavy cream and melt over low heat, stirring constantly.
• Once melted, using a fork dip into the caramel sauce and drizzle in a zig zag pattern over the chocolate covered strawberries.
• Do not completely coat the strawberries in caramel, just a drizzle will do. You don't want to lose any teeth on these babies.
• Sprinkle salt over the caramel covered strawberries.
• Chill strawberries until ready to serve. Remove them from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to serving for caramel to soften a little.

SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Washer strawberries and place on a rack or some paper towels to dry. It is very important that they are dry.
• 2. Take your 12 ounces of chocolate and 2 tablespoons of shortening and place in a small pot. Then take another pot of boiling water to put underneath I usually pick a pot that is smaller than the one I put the chocolate in. Once the water starts boiling I put the pot with the chocolate on top and I start stirring until I get a really nice smooth consistency.
• 3. Then I usually take a wooden skewer and I start dipping my strawberries being as careful as I can to pull back to green tops. After I dip them I let the excess drip and I place them on a sheet pan that's got parchment paper already on top of it
• 4. Once have done that I let them sit for a few minutes and then I take my Caramell syrup and start drizzling diagonally back-and-forth on an angle.
• 5. Sprinkle a little bit of kosher salt on top afterwards and Voila! I let them sit on the porch and paper until the chocolate is set.
• 6. I think it's easier to handle the strawberries when I played them on a very pretty - lightly sprayed with cooking spray. I lay them down points out and tops towards the center and I take the last few and pile them in the middle.
