Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries about 18 medium strawberries
- 1 cup dark, milk, or white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon refined coconut oil
- Optional toppings to decorate like sprinkles or more chocolate to drizzle
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse your strawberries and then pat each one completely dry. Let them come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Place chocolate chips in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave chocolate in increments of 20 seconds, stirring every increment, until melted.
- Mix in coconut oil until smooth.
- Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it in the chocolate, tilting the bowl if needed for better coverage. For a decorative touch, leave a small red border at the top of the strawberry. Let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place dipped strawberry on the lined baking sheet. Immediately decorate while the chocolate is still wet.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for other strawberries.
- Let them set at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the fridge for 15 minutes before enjoying.

Notes
- Look for refined coconut oil that has a neutral flavor. While you can use unrefined coconut oil, it has a coconut flavor. A small amount of coconut oil helps create a smooth, slightly glossy chocolate shell.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best results!
- I personally love semi-sweet chocolate for dipping strawberries!
- Don’t dip strawberries right from the fridge. When the strawberries are cold, the melted chocolate will become lumpy and condensation will form on the outside of the dipped strawberries.
- For a decorative chocolate drizzle, melt a little extra chocolate with a tiny bit of coconut oil and use a teaspoon to drizzle the chocolate over the top of the dipped strawberries before their chocolate shells harden.
