Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, room temperature
  • 10 oz high-quality dark chocolate (60% cacao or higher)
  • 2 tsp refined coconut oil
  • 2 oz white chocolate for drizzling

Instructions:

  1. Wash strawberries in cold water, keeping the green leafy tops intact. Pat each berry individually with paper towels and allow them to air-dry on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes to ensure they are bone-dry.
  2. Combine dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each burst until only a few small lumps remain. Stir until completely smooth.
  3. Hold a strawberry by the green leaves and submerge into the melted chocolate. Lift and twirl slowly, tapping your wrist to remove excess chocolate and prevent pooling.
  4. Place dipped strawberries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If using optional toppings, apply immediately.
  5. Let the berries rest at room temperature for 30 minutes until the shell is fully hardened.
