Ingredients You’ll Need
- Fresh strawberries – 2 cups, washed and fully dried
- Vegan dark chocolate – 1 cup (chips or chopped)
- Coconut oil – 1 tsp (optional, but helps with smooth dipping)
Optional toppings:
- Crushed nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Freeze-dried berries
- Sea salt flakes
- White vegan chocolate drizzle
Key tip: Strawberries must be completely dry. Water + chocolate = betrayal.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the strawberries.
Wash them, then pat completely dry with a towel. - Melt the chocolate.
Heat chocolate (and coconut oil, if using) in short bursts, stirring until smooth. - Dip the strawberries.
Hold by the stem or use a fork. Dip halfway or fully—your call. - Let excess drip off.
Gently shake or tap to avoid thick chocolate puddles. - Add toppings.
Sprinkle toppings while chocolate is still wet. - Set them.
Place on parchment paper and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes. - Serve & enjoy.
Pop one, then pretend you’ll stop at one.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Wet strawberries.
Chocolate won’t stick. At all. - Overheating chocolate.
Burnt chocolate ruins the vibe instantly. - Crowding them while setting.
They’ll stick together like besties. - Using low-quality chocolate.
Chocolate flavor matters here—big time.
Alternatives & Substitutions
- Extra indulgent: Double-dip for thicker chocolate.
- Sugar-free: Use sugar-free vegan chocolate.
- Nut-free: Skip nut toppings, obviously.
- Flavor twist: Add orange zest or espresso powder to chocolate.
- Frozen version: Freeze dipped strawberries for a firmer bite.
IMO, a tiny sprinkle of sea salt on top = chef’s kiss.
