Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh strawberries
- 100 grams unsweetened dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons optional crushed nuts or shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
Start by washing the strawberries gently under cold water and pat them dry completely with a paper towel. Ensure there is no moisture on the strawberries as it can cause the chocolate not to adhere properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsweetened dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the erythritol and vanilla extract until completely dissolved and well incorporated.
Hold a strawberry by the stem or use a skewer. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Gently shake off excess chocolate and place the strawberry on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts or shredded coconut over the chocolate-coated strawberries before the chocolate sets.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, remove from the fridge and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
