Method
Step 1.
After washing fruits, it is important to allow them to dry completely to ensure the chocolate will adhere properly. Pat them with a paper towel if needed to absorb any excess moisture.
Step 2.
Starting with tempering your chocolate is the key to ending up with glossy, uniform-looking chocolate without white patches or a crumbly texture.
Step 3.
Once you have your bowl of tempered chocolate, carefully dip each fruit into the chocolate and lay to rest on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Step 4.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least half an hour, or up to five hours. Once out of the freezer, use a spatula or kitchen tongs to release the fruits.
