Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup White chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or shortening
- 1 sheet Wax paper
Instructions
Gently wash the strawberries under cold running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Make sure they are fully dry, as any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, microwave the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. Stir in the coconut oil or shortening to thin the chocolate slightly and give it a shiny finish.
Hold a strawberry by the green stem or leaves and dip it into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
If desired, melt the white chocolate chips using the same method as the semi-sweet chocolate. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small zip-top bag, cut a tiny corner off, and drizzle over the chocolate-dipped strawberries for decoration.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place the strawberries in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has hardened, serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
