Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them completely dry with a clean paper towel. Ensure no moisture remains to help the chocolate stick properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt the mixture using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well between each interval until smooth and glossy.
Hold each strawberry by its green stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, tilting the bowl as needed for full coverage. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-dipped strawberries onto the prepared baking sheet. For added flavor, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets (optional).
Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
Serve immediately or store the strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
