This Rose, Strawberry and Pistachio White Chocolate Bark makes a beautiful and thoughtful handmade gift for Christmas or a teacher’s gift and it’s easy enough that the kids can help you make it too!
This pretty-as-a-picture Rose, Strawberry and Pistachio White Chocolate Bark is so incredibly versatile. You can load it up with whatever makes your heart skip a beat; try dried pineapple blossoms, toasted coconut and chopped macadamia nuts for a tropical twist.
Unless you’re wanting to temper your own white couverture chocolate (which you can learn to do here), you’ll need to use white baking chocolate to make the chocolate bark. Lucky for you, I just launched my very own range of baking chocolates for this exact reason – not many of us have the time (or inclination) to temper chocolate.

- 200g fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 400g The Kate Tin Baking White Chocolate, chopped
- 100g pistachios, toasted and chopped
- ½ cup dried, organic rose petals
- Silver dragees, to decorate
- Pink sea salt, to grind
- Preheat the oven to 100 degrees celsius (80 degrees fan-forced).
- Line two large baking sheets with baking paper or a silicone baking mat.
- On the first baking sheet, arrange the strawberry slices.
- Place in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until completely dry.
- Melt the baking chocolate then spread onto the prepared sheet using an offset spatula.
- Immediately arrange the strawberry slices on top and sprinkle over the pistachios, rose petals , silver balls and grind some pink salt over.
- Press the toppings in lightly to make sure they don’t fall off later.
- Allow to set completely.
- Remove the bark from the baking sheet and either break into shards, or use a sharp knife to cut into tiles.
Where do one buy dried little rose buds like that?
Hi Melicia, I got these at a Chinese shop in the tea section but speciality tea shops and wellness stores also sell them. Alternatively, dried (organic) rose petals are also beautiful!
