Ingredients
- 16 large pieces Fresh strawberries
- 150 grams Heart-healthy no-sugar-added white chocolate
- 2 teaspoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Finely crushed unsalted pistachios (optional)
- 2 cups Drinking water (for rinsing strawberries)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the strawberries gently under running water to remove impurities, then pat them completely dry with paper towels. Ensure no moisture remains, as this can affect the chocolate coating.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl, combine the no-sugar-added white chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. (Alternatively, melt the mixture in a double boiler over simmering water.)
Step 4
Hold each strawberry by its leafy top and dip it into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is coated evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Step 5
Optionally, before the chocolate sets, sprinkle each dipped strawberry with a pinch of shredded coconut or finely crushed pistachios for added flavor and texture.
Step 6
Place each dipped strawberry on the prepared baking sheet to cool and harden. Repeat until all the strawberries are coated.
Step 7
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the strawberries to chill for at least 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Step 8
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
