Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole fresh strawberries
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cacao for lower fat content)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water, ensuring all dirt and residue are removed. Pat them dry completely with paper towels to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the chocolate mixture on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes in total.
Hold each strawberry by the stem and carefully dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is covered about three-quarters of the way up, then gently shake off any excess chocolate.
Place the chocolate-dipped strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries.
Once all the strawberries are coated, refrigerate the baking sheet until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
Serve chilled as a delicious, guilt-free snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
