Ingredients
Scale
- 12 medium fresh strawberries, firm and ripe with green caps intact
- 6 ounces (170 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended)
- 2 ounces (57 g) white chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- 2 ounces brie cheese, small wedges or cubes
- 2 ounces goat cheese, small wedges or cubes
- Handful of artisan crackers (water crackers or multigrain)
- Handful of roasted almonds or pecans
- A few sprigs of fresh mint for garnish
- Optional extras: dark chocolate-covered espresso beans or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly, leaving green leaves on for easy dipping. (5 minutes)
- Chop dark chocolate into small pieces and melt using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (7 minutes)
- Dip each strawberry by the leaves into melted dark chocolate, swirl to coat evenly, let excess drip off, and place on parchment paper. Chill for 5 minutes, then dip a second time for thicker coating. (10 minutes + chilling)
- Melt white chocolate (optional) using the same method and drizzle over the dipped strawberries for decoration. (5 minutes)
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt lightly over the soft chocolate on strawberries.
- Arrange the charcuterie board by placing chocolate-covered strawberries in the center, surrounded by brie and goat cheese wedges, artisan crackers, roasted nuts, optional extras, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs. (5 minutes)
- Serve immediately or chill covered loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Notes
Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to avoid burning chocolate. Dry strawberries thoroughly before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing. Double dip strawberries for a thicker chocolate coating. Let cheeses sit at room temperature before assembling for best flavor. Serve board at room temperature to avoid melting chocolate. Consume within a few hours for best freshness.
