Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Ensure strawberries are clean, dry, and at room temperature to prevent chocolate from seizing when dipped or poured over.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and coconut oil if using. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Assemble Dessert: Place strawberries into a clear dessert glass or cup, leaving space at the top to allow chocolate to coat them evenly.
- Pour Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the strawberries, allowing it to drip naturally and coat the fruit beautifully.
- Optional Toppings and Serving: Add any optional toppings such as chopped nuts or sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately for a gooey chocolate experience or chill briefly to let the chocolate harden for a firmer bite.
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before adding chocolate to ensure the coating sticks properly.
- Using coconut oil in the chocolate helps achieve a smoother, glossier finish and easier pouring.
- Serve immediately for a warm chocolate effect, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes if you prefer a hardened chocolate shell.
- This dessert can be customized with toppings like crushed nuts, sea salt flakes, or shredded coconut for added texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
