Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large fresh strawberries
- 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free powdered sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 pieces toothpicks or skewers
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry completely with a paper towel. Ensure they are dry so that the chocolate adheres properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be where the chocolate-covered strawberries rest.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the chocolate mixture on medium power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval, until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 2-3 intervals, but be careful not to overheat as chocolate can burn easily.
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the sugar-free powdered sweetener and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Insert a toothpick or skewer into the top of each strawberry.
Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, swirling it to coat evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the dipped strawberries on the parchment-lined baking sheet, and remove the toothpicks carefully, if desired.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes. To speed up the process, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for around 10 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, your low-carb chocolate-covered strawberries are ready to enjoy. For the best taste, serve fresh or store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
