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:

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