Ingredients
- 1 lb (approx. 16-20) fresh, firm strawberries, with green caps intact
- 10–12 oz (280-340g) high-quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white), chopped
- Optional: 1/2 tsp refined coconut oil (for gloss and thinning)
- Optional: Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or contrasting chocolate for decoration
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Strawberries: Gently wash strawberries and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Ensure they are bone dry. Let them air dry for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- 2. Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler method (recommended) or microwave, gently melt the chopped chocolate until smooth. If using, stir in coconut oil.
- 3. Dip Strawberries: Holding a strawberry by its green cap, dip it into the melted chocolate, coating about 2/3 to 3/4 of the berry. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- 4. Decorate: Immediately place dipped strawberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. If decorating, add sprinkles or nuts while the chocolate is still wet.
- 5. Set: Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm. Serve immediately or store as directed.
