Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

200 g good-quality dark or milk chocolate chopped
500 g fresh strawberries washed and dried
1 tbsp coconut oil or butter optional, for smoother chocolate
2 tbsp crushed pistachios optional
2 tbsp shredded coconut optional
A pinch of sea salt optional

Equipment

Mixing bowl (heatproof)
Saucepan (for double boiler setup)
Spoon or spatula
- Parchment Paper
Tray or baking sheet

Method

Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly.
Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a simmering pot (double boiler). Stir until smooth.
Hold strawberries by the green tops and dip them into the chocolate, covering 2/3 of the berry.
Let excess drip, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
Sprinkle with toppings (pistachios, coconut, sea salt) before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate firms.
Serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

Avoid water contact to prevent chocolate from seizing.

Use high-quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for best flavor.

Can substitute white or vegan chocolate if desired.

Best served fresh, but keeps in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
