These vegan chocolate covered strawberries are a delightful treat that combines the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries with the rich flavor of melted vegan chocolate. Each bite is a harmonious blend of fruity freshness and creamy chocolate, making it a satisfying snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
- Toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Ensure strawberries are completely dry. Any water can prevent the chocolate from sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle your choice of toppings onto the wet chocolate before it sets.
- Chill: Refrigerate the strawberries for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to two days.
