Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 1 cup dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Fruit:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (about 10 medium-sized)
Toppings and Decorations:
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate (for drizzling)
- Optional: Crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles
Instructions
- Thoroughly cleanse fresh strawberries under running water, delicately removing excess moisture with soft paper towels to ensure pristine surface for chocolate coating.
- Select a microwave-safe container and combine dark chocolate with coconut oil, heating in brief 30-second increments while stirring consistently until achieving a glossy, uniform liquid consistency.
- Grasp each strawberry by its verdant stem, immersing it completely into the molten chocolate mixture, allowing surplus chocolate to cascade back into the bowl for an even, refined layer.
- Transfer chocolate-coated strawberries onto a parchment-lined surface, maintaining adequate spacing between each piece.
- While chocolate remains liquid, optionally embellish with finely crushed nuts or decorative sprinkles for added texture and visual appeal.
- Gently warm white chocolate, creating a delicate drizzle pattern across the dark chocolate-covered strawberries to introduce elegant contrast and sophisticated presentation.
- Position strawberries in a cool environment, either at ambient room temperature or within refrigerator, permitting approximately 30 minutes for complete chocolate solidification and optimal serving readiness.
Notes
- Carefully choose ripe, firm strawberries without blemishes for the best chocolate-coating results.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for rich, intense flavor and smoother melting.
- Prevent chocolate from seizing by ensuring no water droplets enter the melting bowl during preparation.
- Pat strawberries completely dry before dipping to help chocolate adhere perfectly and prevent separation.
