Description

This easy dark chocolate covered strawberries recipe is a delicious and healthy party dessert that can be prepared in under 20 minutes. Featuring vegan and allergen-free dark chocolate, these strawberries are dipped in a smooth chocolate coating with optional white chocolate drizzle and garnishes like edible glitter or crushed nuts, making them perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 1 lb strawberries

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 bars (about 2.1 oz each) vegan/allergen-free dark chocolate bars, cut into small shavings or small pieces (e.g., HU chocolate bars or Trader Joe’s Organic Dark Chocolate Truffle Bars)
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil

Optional Garnishes

  • White chocolate, for drizzling
  • Edible glitter
  • Crushed nuts
  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash and rinse the strawberries thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel or allow them to air dry completely, as moisture will prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a stove top setup, melt the dark chocolate shavings together with the coconut oil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure smoothness. Alternatively, microwave the mixture in a glass container, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted.
  3. Coat Strawberries: Dip each strawberry into the melted dark chocolate, coating it evenly. Place the coated strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly.
  4. Add Garnishes (Optional): Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the coated strawberries or sprinkle additional garnishes like edible glitter, crushed nuts, or chocolate shavings as desired.
  5. Final Chill: Refrigerate the strawberries for another 10 minutes or until the chocolate is fully hardened and set before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before coating to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
  • Use high-quality vegan/allergen-free dark chocolate for the best flavor and smooth melting.
  • If desired, customize the garnishes to suit the occasion or personal taste.
  • Store chocolate covered strawberries in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
