Ingredients
300 grams chopped white chocolate (10 1/2 ounces)
4 grams powdered freeze-dried strawberries (2 teaspoons)
15 grams puffed rice cereal (1/2 cup)
15 grams freeze-dried blueberries (1/2 cup)
5 grams freeze-dried strawberries, sliced (1/3 cup)
25 grams chopped roasted unsalted almonds (3 tablespoons)
5 grams unsweetened shredded coconut (1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
Line a rimmed quarter-sheet baking tray with parchment, and set aside until ready to use.
Add chopped white chocolate to a large metal bowl. Sit bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a bain-marie, or hot water bath. (Alternately, you can use a double boiler.) Gently melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, until completely melted. Remove from heat.
Transfer 2 – 3 tablespoons of melted chocolate to a separate bowl. Add freeze-dried strawberry powder and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Add puffed rice cereal to melted white chocolate, and stir to combine.
Pour white chocolate-cereal mixture onto prepared tray. Use a rubber spatula to gently spread the mixture, allowing a 1-inch border around the edges.
Use a teaspoon to drop strawberry-white chocolate mixture on top of the white chocolate slab.
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the chocolates together, creating a marble pattern.
Scatter freeze-dried strawberries on top of the slab, followed by freeze-dried blueberries.
Sprinkle with almonds and coconut.
Transfer tray to the refrigerator. Chill 30 minutes, or until chocolate is completely set. Chop or break the bark into chunks.
Store white chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
