Ingredients
1pintstrawberries
1.5-2cupsvodka
⅔cupwhite chocolate chips
1teaspooncoconut oil {optional}
2tablespoonblue sprinkles
Instructions
Wash the strawberries really well. Trim the tops if desired. Put in a glass or plastic container and cover with vodka.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours {the longer the better}.
Make sure to turn the strawberries about halfway through "marinating" time.
When ready to coat the strawberries, line a strainer with paper towels and sit above a bowl or container. Drain strawberries and strain vodka. Reserve vodka for another use {keep covered in refrigerator}.
Make sure strawberries are completely dry, so blot with extra paper towels if necessary {the white chocolate won't stick to a wet strawberry}.
Put the white chocolate chips and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds on 50% power. Stir until smooth. If needed, microwave in 15 second increments on 50% power until melted.
Dip strawberries in melted white chocolate. Sprinkle blue sprinkles on the bottoms of the white chocolate to make the red, white, and blue layers on the strawberries. Sit on a wax paper lined plate to set.
Repeat with remaining strawberries. Refrigerate until hardened {about 10 minutes}. Best served soon after taking them out of the refrigerator. Enjoy {in moderation, of course}!
Keep covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
*Use dairy free white chocolate chips if needed*It is very important that you refrigerate these while soaking!!! Do not leave them out at room temperature or they will turn an unappetizing color, get soft, and have an overly-vodka taste.
