Description

Delicious chocolate covered strawberries topped with white chocolate drizzle, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate
  • 18 large strawberries (with stems)
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 4 ounces white chocolate (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Wash and rinse the strawberries, lay them on a paper towel to air dry completely.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.)
  4. Dip each strawberry into the chocolate mixture, gently shake the strawberry to remove the excess chocolate. Place the strawberry onto a parchment-lined tray.
  5. 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.
  6. Drizzle with melted white chocolate.
  7. Let the strawberries sit at room temperature until chocolate hardens, for about one hour, until the chocolate firms. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • You can use any toppings of your choice for added flavor and texture.
