Ingredients
- 500 g strawberries
- 250 g dark or milk chocolate
- 50 g white chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, leaving the stems on.
- Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil gently until smooth.

- Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate for decoration.
- Chill for 20 minutes until the chocolate sets, then serve.
💡 Chef's tip
Melt the chocolate gently in short bursts and stir often; overheating makes it thick and dull instead of smooth and shiny.
Making sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping is critical, since any water causes the chocolate to seize and turn grainy.
