Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Chocolate Strawberries:
  • 2 lbs fresh strawberries with stems
  • 1 270 g bag milk or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • For the Pink Drizzle:
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ tsp coconut oil
  • Pink food coloring

Method
 

1. Prep Your Strawberries

Rinse the strawberries gently, keeping the stems attached for easy dipping. Pat them completely dry with paper towels.

    Important: Any moisture can ruin the chocolate texture—so dry them well.

2. Prepare Your Work Surface

Line a baking tray with parchment or wax paper. This keeps everything neat and prevents sticking.

    3. Melt the Chocolate

    Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts on medium power, stirring after each round until smooth and glossy.

      Tip: Don’t overheat—slow melting = silky chocolate.

    4. Dip the Strawberries

    Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then place it on the lined tray.

      5. Repeat

      Continue dipping until all strawberries are coated. Try not to eat half of them mid-process…tempting, I know

        6. Make the Pink Drizzle

        In a separate bowl, melt white chocolate with coconut oil using the same microwave method. Stir in a drop or two of pink food coloring until you get that soft blush tone.

          7. Decorate

          Transfer the pink chocolate into a small zip-top bag. Snip a tiny corner and drizzle over the strawberries.No pressure: Messy drizzle = aesthetic. Trust the process.

            8. Let Them Set

            Allow the strawberries to sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature—or pop them in the fridge if you’re in a hurry.

              Notes

              • Choose good-quality chocolate—it really does make a difference.
              • Balance flavors: dark chocolate adds richness, milk chocolate keeps it sweet and creamy.
