Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate (60% cacao)
- 2 tsp refined coconut oil
- 3 oz white chocolate chips
- 0.5 tsp refined coconut oil
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the 1 lb fresh strawberries thoroughly. Note: Any lingering water will cause the chocolate to seize and turn grainy.
- Line a tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Melt the chocolate by placing 8 oz dark chocolate and 2 tsp coconut oil in a heat safe bowl over simmering water. Cook 5 minutes until silky and completely fluid.
- Hold the stem of a strawberry and dip it into the dark chocolate, swirling slightly to coat.
- Lift and shake the berry gently over the bowl to let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the berry on the prepared tray. Repeat until all berries are coated and glowing.
- Chill the tray in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until the shells are firm to the touch.
- Melt the white chocolate chips with 0.5 tsp coconut oil using the same double boiler method or short microwave bursts.
- Drizzle the white chocolate over the cold berries using a spoon or piping bag in a fast, zig zag motion.
- Set the berries for another 10 minutes in the fridge until the drizzle has hardened completely.
