A quick and easy homemade Easter treat featuring creamy white chocolate and fresh strawberries, perfect for festive spring celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberry pieces (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons pastel candy sprinkles or nonpareils
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse, hull, and quarter the fresh strawberries. Pat them dry gently with paper towels to avoid adding moisture to the chocolate (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a small saucepan or microwave, warm the heavy cream until it’s just about to simmer—small bubbles will form around the edges, but don’t let it boil (about 2 minutes).
  3. Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate, add the vanilla extract, and let it sit for a minute to soften the chips.
  4. Mix the cream and chocolate together with a spatula until silky and fully combined. If needed, microwave for additional 15-second bursts, stirring each time, to get a completely smooth mixture (about 3-4 minutes total).
  5. Pour the creamy chocolate onto the lined baking sheet. Use the back of a spatula to spread it evenly to about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thickness.
  6. Quickly scatter the fresh strawberry quarters and freeze-dried pieces evenly over the chocolate. Sprinkle the pastel candy sprinkles and a pinch of sea salt on top.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, until the chocolate is firm and set.
  8. Once set, remove from fridge and break the bark into rough shards or bite-sized pieces with your hands (about 5 minutes).

Notes

Pat strawberries dry to prevent soggy bark. Warm cream before adding to chocolate to avoid seizing. Chill bark for at least 1 hour for best texture. Score bark after 30 minutes chilling for cleaner pieces. Variations include dairy-free, dark chocolate, and nut toppings.
