Dark Chocolate Coated Strawberries

Dark Chocolate Coated Strawberries are a simple yet elegant dessert that combines the juicy sweetness of fresh strawberries with rich, decadent dark chocolate. This delightful treat is perfect for special occasions or as a guilt-free indulgence, offering a perfect balance of flavors.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 200 grams strawberries
• 50 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• A pinch of sea salt

Procedure:

• Ensure the strawberries are thoroughly washed and dried. Any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize up.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
• Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the berry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
• Place the coated strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty flavor contrast.
• Refrigerate the chocolate-coated strawberries for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
• Enjoy the strawberries as a delicious and healthy dessert option!
