Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- 16 fresh strawberries, large, ripe, with stems intact
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, good quality, chopped
- 2 ounces white chocolate, good quality, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil, optional, for smoother chocolate
Instructions
- 1
Gently wash the strawberries under cool water. Lay them out on paper towels and allow them to air dry completely. It is crucial that the strawberries are thoroughly dry, as any water will cause the chocolate to seize.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will be used to place the dipped strawberries.

Melt the dark chocolate. You can do this using a double boiler or in a microwave. For the microwave, place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth. If using coconut oil, stir it into the dark chocolate now.

Hold each strawberry by its stem and dip it into the melted dark chocolate, rotating to coat about two-thirds to three-quarters of the berry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the dipped strawberry onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.

Once all strawberries are dipped in dark chocolate, melt the white chocolate using the same method as the dark chocolate (microwave or double boiler).
⏱️ 3 min
- 6
Using a small spoon or a piping bag with a very small snip at the end, elegantly drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate-covered strawberries in a back-and-forth motion.
⏱️ 7 min

Place the baking sheet with the chocolate-covered strawberries into the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
