Method
- Ensure your strawberries are thoroughly washed and completely dry. Any residual moisture can cause the chocolate to seize. Leave the stems on for a pretty presentation and an easy dipping handle.1 pound fresh strawberries
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smoothly melted and glossy. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler method.8 ounces good quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Holding a strawberry by its stem, dip it about two-thirds of the way into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.1 pound fresh strawberries
- Immediately after dipping, while the chocolate is still wet, gently press the strawberry into your chosen toppings like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut on a plate. For a touch of sophistication, a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt can enhance the chocolate flavor.1 pound fresh strawberries, finely chopped nuts, sprinkles, flaky sea salt, shredded coconut
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can also create swirls or designs with a contrasting chocolate if desired.
- Refrigerate the baking sheet for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
