Valentine Chocolate Strawberries (Print-Friendly Version)

Fresh strawberries coated in smooth dark chocolate, chilled to perfection for a delightful treat.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Fruit

01 - 450 grams fresh strawberries

→ Chocolate coating

02 - 225 grams dark chocolate, chopped
03 - 30 milliliters coconut oil

# Detailed Directions:

01 - Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat completely dry using paper towels to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
02 - Combine chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20 to 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, swirling gently to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
04 - Place the coated strawberries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to prevent sticking.
05 - Refrigerate the baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
06 - Serve the strawberries chilled or at room temperature.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to achieve optimal chocolate adhesion.
