Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 whole fresh large strawberries
- 1 cup cocoa butter
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 8 whole pitted Medjool dates
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry using paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry to help the chocolate adhere properly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the cocoa butter with the coconut oil, stirring frequently until fully melted.
While the cocoa butter is melting, place the pitted dates in a small bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
Once the cocoa butter and coconut oil are melted, transfer the mixture to a food processor. Drain the dates and add them to the processor along with the cocoa powder, vanilla bean powder, and sea salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed. The result should be a thick, luscious chocolate sauce.
Pour the chocolate sauce into a small, deep bowl perfect for dipping.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each strawberry into the chocolate sauce, swirling to coat evenly. Gently shake off any excess chocolate and place the strawberry on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the dipping process for all the strawberries.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the chocolate-covered strawberries set for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
Serve immediately or keep refrigerated if not serving right away. Enjoy these guilt-free, Whole30 compatible treats!
