Ingredients
- 12 whole fresh strawberries
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cacao for lower fat content)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cool running water, ensuring all dirt and residue are removed. Pat them dry completely with paper towels to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Step 4
Microwave the chocolate mixture on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes in total.
Step 5
Hold each strawberry by the stem and carefully dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is covered about three-quarters of the way up, then gently shake off any excess chocolate.
Step 6
Place the chocolate-dipped strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries.
Step 7
Once all the strawberries are coated, refrigerate the baking sheet until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
Step 8
Serve chilled as a delicious, guilt-free snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
