Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 25 pieces Fresh cherries (with stems)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh cherries, leaving the stems intact for easy dipping.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave the chocolate and coconut oil mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Hold a cherry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated but leaving a small portion near the stem uncovered for a visually appealing finish.
Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the cherry onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the dipping process with the remaining cherries.
Optional: Lightly dust the chocolate-covered cherries with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
Place the baking sheet with the dipped cherries in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the cherries to a serving plate or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
