  • Cooking Method: Melting and Dipping
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Chill Time: 15 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Dessert, American

Ingredients

  • 1 pound strawberries
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil or butter
  • Optional: white chocolate for drizzling

Cooking Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Any moisture will interfere with the chocolate.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil/butter.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth (usually takes about 2 minutes).
  4. Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, swirling to cover thoroughly.
  5. Lift the strawberry and let the excess chocolate drip off back into the bowl.
  6. Place dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. If desired, melt white chocolate in a similar fashion and drizzle over the dipped strawberries for extra flair.
  8. Chill the strawberries in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
  9. Enjoy the fruits of your minimal labor!

Suggestions

  • Substitute dark chocolate for a richer flavor or milk chocolate if you prefer something sweeter.
  • Sprinkle crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or sprinkles on the chocolate before it sets for added texture and decoration.
  • If strawberries aren’t in season, try this with dried apricots, bananas, or even pretzels. You didn’t hear that from me, though.
  • For a pro tip, make sure the chocolate doesn’t harden too quickly by dipping in small batches, especially if you’re in the North Pole.
