Chocolate Strawberry Wafer Recipe
Ingredients
- Wafers:
- 1 package of plain wafer sheets or wafer cookies
- Strawberry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Stir occasionally and let the mixture cook until the strawberries release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the filling thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- Assemble the Wafers:
- Spread a thin layer of the cooled strawberry filling on one wafer sheet or cookie.
- Top with another wafer sheet or cookie, pressing gently to adhere.
- Repeat with remaining wafers and filling until all are assembled.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Wafers:
- Dip each assembled wafer into the melted chocolate, covering it completely.
- Place the chocolate-covered wafers on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the chocolate is fully set, your chocolate strawberry wafers are ready to enjoy!
Tips:
- Store the wafers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
- You can use white chocolate or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Feel free to add a bit of vanilla extract to the strawberry filling for extra flavor.
Enjoy your homemade chocolate strawberry wafers!
