Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup White chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry, as moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Hold a strawberry by its green stem or leaves and dip it into the melted chocolate, twisting slightly to coat it evenly.
Lift the strawberry out of the chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl, then place it onto the prepared parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
If using white chocolate as a drizzle, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same method as the semi-sweet chocolate.
Use a small spoon or a piping bag with a tiny tip to drizzle white chocolate over the dipped strawberries for a decorative finish.
Let the strawberries sit at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets completely.
Serve the chocolate-dipped strawberries immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
