Ingredients
- 12 ounces dark chocolate
- 18 large strawberries with stems
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 4 ounces white chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Wash and rinse the strawberries, lay them on a paper towel to air dry completely.
- Make a double boiler, place a pan on low heat with an inch of water and bring to a boil. Place a bowl (with the lid larger than the lip of the pot) on the simmering water.
- Place 2/3 chocolate in the bowl. Stir gently with a spatula for several minutes or until chocolate is melted. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and add in 1/3 more chocolate and the coconut oil. Continue to gently stir until all the chocolate is melted. (It should have a shiny appearance and smooth consistency.)
- Dip each strawberry into the chocolate mixture, gently shake the strawberry to remove the excess chocolate. Place the strawberry onto a parchment-lined tray.
- Before the chocolate sets, dip the strawberries into chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut, or any other topping of your choice and then set it back on the tray. Drizzle with melted white chocolate.
- Let the strawberries sit at room temperature until chocolate hardens, for about one hour, until the chocolate firms. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Storing instructions: Store in a cool place at room temperature for up to 24 hours. They should be covered but not stored in a sealed container.
Make-ahead tips: These can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time but they will be best if served the same day they are made. Just be sure you are storing your chocolate-covered strawberries at room temperature.
