Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces fresh strawberries
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup crushed almonds
- 0.5 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
1. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry, as moisture will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to use as a resting surface for the dipped strawberries.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
4. In another microwave-safe bowl, repeat the same process to melt the white chocolate chips with the remaining coconut oil.
5. Place the crushed almonds and crushed graham crackers into separate shallow bowls or plates, preparing them for the crunchy coating step.
6. Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted semi-sweet chocolate. Gently twist to coat it fully or partially, depending on your preference.
7. Immediately roll or sprinkle the dipped strawberry in either the crushed almonds or graham crackers, ensuring the coating sticks while the chocolate is still wet.
8. Place the coated strawberry onto the prepared parchment paper. Repeat for about half of the strawberries.
9. For the remaining strawberries, dip them into the melted white chocolate and coat them with the nuts or crushed crackers following the same process.
10. Allow the dipped strawberries to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes or place the tray in the refrigerator for faster setting.
11. Serve the Crunchy Dipped Strawberries on a platter or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
