I’ll write out the few ingredients you need for this recipe along with the method. Feel free to also scroll down to recipe card at the bottom for an easier read.
Ingredients for this recipe
- fresh strawberries
- lily’s no sugar dark chocolate chips
- refined coconut oil
You’ll wanna get the refined coconut oil in order to avoid the coconut flavor, but hey if you just have virgin coconut oil and you want the notes of coconut, by all means go for it! I usually love me the taste of added coconut, but for this recipe, i’m aiming for just a classic chocolate covered strawberry taste. I mean, chocolate covered strawberries are fancy enough as is. It needs nothing extra in my opinion.
Method for this recipe
First off you’re gonna make a double boiler. How you do this is heat up a pot or sauce pan of water and bring it to an almost boil.
Place a heat safe bowl to float into the hot water. In the bowl, throw in the coconut oil and chocolate chips. Stir consistently until the chocolate is fully melted. Control heat temperature to ensure that water does not begin to fully boil.
Once chocolate is fully melted. Keep bowl in hot water, turn off heat. Dip raw strawberries into chocolate and fully coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip and place on a plate. Repeat this with all strawberries.
Place plate of chocolate covered strawberries in fridge for at least 20 minutes to harden. Keep in fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy!
