Ingredients
- 12 ounces Chocolate good quality chocolate
- 18 large Strawberries large, with stems
- 2 teaspoon Coconut Oil
- 4 ounces White Chocolate if desired
Instructions
- Wash and rinse the strawberries, lay them on a paper towel to air dry completely, 15 minutes to 60 minutes at room temperature. (Be sure they are completly dry)
- 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 ⅔ 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 ⅓ 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.)
- Set a sheet of parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
- Dip each strawberry into the chocolate mixture, gently shake the strawberry to remove the excess chocolate. Place the strawberry on the parchment-lined tray.
- If desired, add a contrasting kind of melted chocolate in a piping bag and drizzle the dipped strawberries.
- You can also 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.
- Let the strawberries sit at room temperature until chocolate hardens, for about one hour, until the chocolate firms. Serve and enjoy!
