Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 units fresh strawberries
- 1 cup cocoa butter
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Wash 20 fresh strawberries and dry them thoroughly with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry for the chocolate to adhere properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a double boiler, melt 1 cup of cocoa butter over low heat. Stir occasionally until fully melted.
Once the cocoa butter is melted, whisk in 0.5 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the chocolate is smooth and well combined.
Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly for a few minutes.
Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate, swirling to coat it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat the dipping process with all the strawberries.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
Once set, serve the chocolate-covered strawberries immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
