Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces fresh strawberries
- 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry as any water could cause the chocolate to seize.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes in total.
Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler. To do this, place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water) and stir until the chocolate and coconut oil are melted and smooth.
Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt, chopped nuts, or sprinkles over the chocolate-covered strawberries while the chocolate is still wet.
Place the baking sheet with the strawberries in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Once the chocolate is firm, remove the strawberries from the refrigerator and serve. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free treat!
