Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 12 fresh strawberries
Chocolate Coating
- 8 oz dark or milk chocolate, chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional for smoothness)
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is coated evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl for a clean finish.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each chocolate-covered strawberry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and prepare for setting.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm and glossy, before serving for best results.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for a richer taste.
- Coconut oil is optional but helps the chocolate melt smoothly and adds a sheen.
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry to help the chocolate adhere properly.
- Can store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, best enjoyed fresh.
- For variation, drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle with nuts after dipping.
