Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces fresh strawberries
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Place the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted.
Allow the chocolate to cool slightly but keeping it liquid enough for dipping.
Hold a strawberry by the green leafy top, dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to cover it completely or up to the halfway point, depending on preference.
Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl and place the strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
For an optional decorative touch, melt the white chocolate chips using the same microwave method. Once melted, drizzle it over the chocolate-covered strawberries using a spoon or a piping bag.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
Once set, arrange the chocolate covered strawberries on a platter for serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
