Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry to ensure the coating adheres properly.
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Place the dairy-free white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the chocolate by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir frequently until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, microwave the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until completely melted.
If desired, stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate for added flavor.
Hold each strawberry by the stem or use a toothpick, and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly.
Lift the strawberry out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, and place it on the parchment-lined tray.
Repeat the process with all the strawberries. If the chocolate starts to thicken, reheat it gently.
Let the chocolate-covered strawberries sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator to set completely, approximately 30 minutes.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
