Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries with stems
- Dark chocolate chips or bar
- Milk chocolate chips or bar
- White chocolate chips optional
- Coconut oil or butter optional
Instructions
Wash the Strawberries
- Wash strawberries gently under clean water. Remove dirt and pesticides carefully. Keep the stems on for easy dipping.
Dry the Strawberries
- Pat strawberries completely dry using paper towels. Moisture can ruin the chocolate coating. Let them air dry fully.
Prepare the Chocolate
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces. This helps the chocolate melt evenly and smoothly.
Melt the Chocolate
- Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set it over simmering water. Stir slowly until melted and smooth.
Add Oil if Needed
- Add a little coconut oil if chocolate feels thick. This makes dipping easier and smoother.
Dip the Strawberries
- Hold strawberry by the stem. Dip into melted chocolate. Twist gently to remove extra chocolate.
Let Excess Chocolate Drip
- Hold strawberry above bowl for a few seconds. Let extra chocolate drip back into bowl.
Place on Tray
- Place dipped strawberry on parchment-lined tray. Keep space between each strawberry.
Add Decorations
- Drizzle white chocolate or add sprinkles while chocolate is wet. Be creative with designs.
Set the Chocolate
- Let strawberries set at room temperature or fridge for ten minutes. Chocolate should be firm.
Notes
- Use room temperature strawberries for best chocolate coating.
- Do not refrigerate strawberries before dipping.
- Try dark, milk, or white chocolate for variety.
- Add crushed nuts or coconut for extra texture.
- Use colored chocolate for festive events.
- Sprinkle sea salt on dark chocolate for rich flavor.
