# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 pound fresh strawberries, stems intact and thoroughly dried
02 -
8 ounces quality melting chocolate, semi-sweet, milk, or dark
03 -
1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter
→ Optional Toppings
04 -
2 tablespoons sprinkles
05 -
2 tablespoons chopped nuts, such as pistachios or almonds
06 -
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
07 -
2 ounces white chocolate, melted, for drizzling
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Rinse strawberries under cold water and carefully pat them completely dry with paper towels. Ensure no moisture remains, as water will interfere with chocolate coating.
02 -
Place chocolate and coconut oil or butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until fully smooth and glossy. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
03 -
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, rotating to fully coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone mat.
04 -
Immediately, while the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle or roll strawberries in chosen toppings, or drizzle with melted white chocolate.
05 -
Refrigerate the dipped strawberries for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firmly set. Serve chilled for optimal texture.
# Helpful Suggestions:
01 -
Thoroughly drying strawberries is critical to prevent chocolate from seizing. Use high-quality chocolate for best results, and chill briefly for a crisp finish.
02 -
Avoid stacking finished strawberries during storage to maintain a flawless chocolate coating.
03 -
Fresh strawberries work best. Frozen berries will leak moisture and compromise texture.
