Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries stems on
  • 12 oz high-quality dark chocolate chips
  • 6 oz white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios optional
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips optional
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
  • Parchment paper for lining

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Wash strawberries gently and pat completely dry with paper towels. Any moisture will prevent chocolate from adhering properly.
  2. Step 2: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside in a cool area of your kitchen.
  3. Step 3: Melt dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing on prepared baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate dipped strawberries for 15 minutes until chocolate sets completely.
  6. Step 6: Melt white chocolate with remaining coconut oil using same microwave method until smooth and creamy.
  7. Step 7: Transfer white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-lock bag with corner snipped off, then drizzle decoratively over set strawberries.
  8. Step 8: Sprinkle with chopped pistachios or mini chocolate chips while white chocolate is still wet, then refrigerate for final 10 minutes.
  9. Step 9: Dust lightly with powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant finishing touch.

Notes

Store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature 10 minutes before serving for best texture. Choose strawberries that are firm and completely ripe for optimal sweetness.
