Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225 grams) white chocolate chips or bars (high-quality recommended)
- 1 cup (30 grams) freeze-dried strawberries
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) toasted sliced almonds
- Pinch of sea salt flakes
- Optional: a few drops of pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread sliced almonds evenly on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool.
- Chop white chocolate if using bars. Melt in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over simmering water.
- Stir in vanilla extract if using.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pour melted chocolate onto the sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
- Immediately sprinkle toasted almonds and freeze-dried strawberries over the melted chocolate. Press lightly to adhere. Finish with a pinch of sea salt flakes.
- Let the bark set at room temperature for 1-2 hours or refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until firm. Do not cover while setting to avoid condensation.
- Lift the bark from the parchment and break into irregular pieces or cut with a knife.
Notes
Toast almonds evenly and watch closely to avoid burning. Use freeze-dried strawberries to keep bark crisp. Spread chocolate quickly after melting as it hardens fast. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
