Chocolate Covered Strawberries With Homemade Whipped Cream

1. 1

   Break up dark chocolate bars into small pieces and place in the microwave on high from 45 seconds to 1:15 minutes. Pull out of the microwave when the broken up chocolate pieces are mostly melted. The chocolate pieces should melt when you stir. If not, put the cup of chocolate back in the microwave and heat up for short increments (15-20 seconds at a time). Be careful not to overheat it because it can burn very easily. While the chocolate bars are heating in the microwave, wash, clean, and dry all strawberries.

2. 2

   Heat up the white chocolate in the microwave for about 1 minute (or longer if necessary) in a separate small bowl.

3. 3

   Tear a long piece of wax paper or parchment paper and place it on a large plate or platter. Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir chocolate till smooth. Quickly, dip each strawberry by twirling it around till it's mostly covered. Place dipped strawberries on the plate until all strawberries are done. Then, use a fork to drizzle the white chocolate over the covered chocolate strawberries. Place the plate of chocolate covered strawberries in the refrigerator for at least an hour until a hard shell forms on the strawberry.
