Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for luscious chocolate dipped strawberries with a satisfying snap and fresh berry burst, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh strawberries, medium to large size, firm and ripe but not mushy (washed and thoroughly dried)
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cacao)
  • White chocolate (optional, for drizzling or decoration)
  • Sea salt flakes (optional, a pinch)
  • Crushed nuts (optional, toasted pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: Rinse gently under cold water, pat thoroughly dry with paper towels, then air dry on a clean kitchen towel for a few minutes.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place chopped dark chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each until smooth, or stir continuously over simmering water until melted.
  3. Dip the strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem or with a skewer, dip into melted chocolate coating about 3/4 of the berry, let excess drip off, then place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Add optional decorations: Melt white chocolate similarly and drizzle over dipped strawberries. Immediately sprinkle sea salt flakes or crushed nuts if desired.
  5. Set the chocolate: Allow strawberries to rest at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is firm and snaps when broken.
  6. Serve or store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving to avoid waxy texture.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing. Reheat chocolate gently if it hardens during dipping. Avoid refrigerating dipped strawberries for too long to prevent condensation and dull chocolate. For a glossy finish, some add a touch of coconut oil to the chocolate.
