Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

1 pound fresh strawberries

Chocolate Coating

8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then dry them completely using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
Melt the Dark Chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Add coconut oil if using to achieve a silkier texture.
Dip Strawberries in Dark Chocolate: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted dark chocolate, coating it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the baking sheet.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the chocolate-coated strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch to avoid sticking.
Melt the White Chocolate: Repeat the melting process with the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
Decorate Strawberries: Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate-coated strawberries for an elegant decorative touch.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolates are firm and set.

Notes

Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
The optional coconut oil helps create a smoother, shinier chocolate coating.
Store the chocolate-covered strawberries in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
For variations, try using milk chocolate or adding toppings like crushed nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Allow chocolates to cool slightly but remain fluid to avoid clumping while dipping or drizzling.
