Description
Indulge in the luscious experience of biting into a plump, juicy strawberry, its sweet and tangy flavor perfectly complemented by a rich, velvety layer of dark chocolate. Each bite offers a delightful contrast of textures, with the smooth chocolate coating giving way to the tender fruit inside, creating a heavenly treat that is both romantic and satisfying.
Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries – 1 pound, washed and dried thoroughly
- Dark Chocolate – 8 ounces, chopped
- White Chocolate – 4 ounces, chopped (for drizzling)
- Coconut Oil – 1 tablespoon (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
- Dip each strawberry into the melted dark chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate using the same method as the dark chocolate.
- Once the strawberries are coated and set, drizzle the melted white chocolate over them for decoration.
- Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Notes
- Make-ahead: These strawberries can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Substitutions: Use milk chocolate or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.
