Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Ensure strawberries are clean, dry, and at room temperature to ensure the chocolate adheres well without seizing.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate with coconut oil if using—it helps achieve a smoother melt.
- Microwave Chocolate: Heat the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each session until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth in texture.
- Arrange Strawberries: Place the strawberries into a clear dessert glass or cup, leaving some space at the top for the chocolate drizzle.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the strawberries, allowing it to coat them evenly and drip naturally for a beautiful effect.
- Serve or Chill: Add optional toppings if desired, then serve immediately for a softer chocolate coating or chill briefly to harden the chocolate for a firmer bite.
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before coating to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Using coconut oil is optional but helps produce a shinier, smoother chocolate coating.
- You can add toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles for extra texture and flavor.
- For best results, serve promptly or chill for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
