Ingredients

• 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and dried completely
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil, divided

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted.
3. Hold a strawberry by its stem and dip into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all strawberries.
4. Allow the dark chocolate to set completely at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
5. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the remaining 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Using a fork or a piping bag with a small tip, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate-coated strawberries to create an elegant pattern.
7. Allow the white chocolate drizzle to set at room temperature.
8. Transfer strawberries to a serving platter and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• Make sure your strawberries are completely dry before dipping to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
• If you prefer, you can use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
• For added texture and flavor, sprinkle crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or sprinkles onto the chocolate before it sets.

Storage Instructions

Store chocolate-covered strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you have dietary restrictions, plant-based dark chocolate and white chocolate work perfectly in this recipe. You can also use almond or soy milk-based chocolate.

Pairings

These chocolate-covered strawberries pair wonderfully with sparkling wine or a crisp glass of cold milk. For a more decadent treat, consider serving them alongside a velvety chocolate mousse or a bowl of whipped cream.
