Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Fresh strawberries Choose ripe, firm strawberries with green leaves intact.
  • 8 ounces Dark chocolate High-quality dark chocolate for a rich flavor.
  • 8 ounces White chocolate Good quality white chocolate for contrast.
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut oil Used for the white chocolate to give it a smooth texture.
Decorations
  • as needed Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or edible glitter For decoration, adds a festive touch.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • parchment paper
  • baking sheet
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly to remove any moisture.
  2. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine the white chocolate and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave in the same manner until smooth.
  4. Hold each strawberry by the green leaves and dip into the melted dark chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the berry. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  5. Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. While the dark chocolate is still wet, add your choice of sprinkles, crushed nuts, or edible glitter for decoration.
  7. Once the dark chocolate has set slightly, drizzle or dip the strawberries into the melted white chocolate for an elegant touch.
  8. Allow the decorated strawberries to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
  9. Serve the strawberries on a decorative platter or in gift boxes for a beautiful presentation.
