Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. If using, stir in the coconut oil until smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem end and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the berry.
- Place the dipped strawberries onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
- For extra decoration, drizzle melted white chocolate over the set dark chocolate.
- Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping; moisture prevents the chocolate from adhering.
