Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh strawberries, medium to large size with green tops
- 8 ounces (225 grams) dark chocolate chips or bars (60-70% cacao)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) coconut oil or vegetable oil
- Edible gold dust or spray
- Optional: 2 ounces (60 grams) white chocolate for drizzle
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Wash and dry strawberries completely, patting with paper towels and allowing to air dry for a few minutes to remove all moisture.
- Melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl using microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time until smooth (about 3-4 minutes total). Stir in coconut oil to create a glossy finish.
- Hold each strawberry by the green top or use a toothpick/fork and dip into the melted chocolate, coating about 3/4 of the berry. Let excess chocolate drip off and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Using a small dry brush, gently dust the dipped strawberries with edible gold powder or lightly mist with gold spray from about 6 inches away.
- Optional: Melt white chocolate the same way and drizzle thin lines over the dipped berries for contrast. Let dry fully.
- Allow strawberries to set at room temperature for 15 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up completely.
Notes
Use fresh, dry strawberries to prevent chocolate from seizing. Use good quality dark chocolate for best flavor and glossy finish. Reheat chocolate gently if it thickens during dipping. Store in airtight container lined with parchment paper and consume within 1-2 days. Optional white chocolate drizzle adds contrast. Edible gold dust can be applied with a brush for precision.
