Ingredients
- 1 pint, stems removed fresh strawberries
- 4 oz, chopped dark chocolate
- 2 oz, chopped white chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Arrange strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (do not let bowl touch water), stirring constantly until smooth and glossy (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Step 2: Dip each strawberry into melted dark chocolate, coating about 2/3 of the berry. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment-lined sheet. Immediately sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt.
- Step 3: Melt white chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil using the same method until smooth. Transfer to a small piping bag or zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off. Drizzle decorative lines over chocolate-dipped strawberries. Refrigerate for 20 minutes until chocolate is set and firm.
