Ingredients
– 1 lb fresh strawberries (washed and dried thoroughly)
– 8 oz high-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped)
– 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
– Toppings (optional): crushed nuts, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
1. Prep the Strawberries: Ensure strawberries are completely dry to help the chocolate stick.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate (and coconut oil, if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Let excess drip off.
4. Add Toppings (Optional): Immediately sprinkle with toppings before the chocolate sets.
5. Set the Chocolate: Place strawberries on parchment paper and let cool at room temperature or in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until firm.
Tips for Success
– Use room-temperature strawberries to prevent chocolate from seizing.
– For a professional finish, dip strawberries twice or drizzle with contrasting chocolate.
– Store in the fridge for up to 2 days—but they’re best enjoyed fresh!
