Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate (70-85% cacao, sodium-free if possible)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, leaving the stems intact. Set them aside on a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 3
Break the dark chocolate into small, even-sized pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 4
Add the coconut oil to the chocolate if you're using it. This will create a smoother finished chocolate coat.
Step 5
Melt the chocolate in the microwave on medium power for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate. Repeat this process in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat most of the berry. Lift and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Step 7
Place the chocolate-covered strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, which should take about 30 minutes. If you're in a hurry, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
Step 9
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best taste, allow the strawberries to come to room temperature before serving.
