Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (about 16–20 medium berries)
- 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (about 1 1/3 cups)
- 2 oz white chocolate chips (about 1/3 cup)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
- Optional: chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, pecans)
- Optional: sprinkles or colored sugar
- Optional: mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries under cool water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Let air dry for 10-15 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment or wax paper. Prepare any toppings you plan to use.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy (about 1-2 minutes). Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on low heat, stirring constantly.
- Hold each strawberry by the green leaves or use a skewer. Dip into melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place on the parchment-lined tray. Add toppings immediately if desired.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips with 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil in 15-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Snip a tiny corner and drizzle over the chocolate-dipped strawberries in desired patterns.
- Place tray in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, or until chocolate is firm. (Or chill in the freezer for 10 minutes if needed.)
- Once set, gently peel strawberries from parchment and arrange on a serving plate. Enjoy within 24 hours for best freshness.
Notes
Dry strawberries thoroughly for best chocolate adhesion. Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor and texture. Customize with toppings like nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies. For dairy-free or vegan, use allergy-friendly chocolate chips. Best enjoyed the same day; store leftovers in a single layer in the fridge with a paper towel underneath.
