Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, washed and dried
  • 8 oz high-quality dark chocolate (60% cocoa), chopped
  • 1 tsp refined coconut oil
  • 4 oz white chocolate
  • 2 tbsp red sanding sugar

Instructions:

  1. Wash strawberries under cold water. Keep the green tops intact. Pat them dry with paper towels and let them sit on a fresh towel for 20 minutes until they are bone dry to the touch to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
  2. Using a double boiler, melt the 8 oz of chopped dark chocolate and 1 tsp of coconut oil over gentle heat. Remove from heat when the chocolate is mostly melted and stir until smooth to avoid overheating.
  3. Holding the green tops, dip each strawberry into the dark chocolate, swirling to coat. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Melt the white chocolate. Using a fork or a small piping bag, drizzle over the set dark chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with red sanding sugar or micro-hearts.
  5. Let the berries sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then move them to the fridge for 20 minutes until the shells are firm and matte glossy.
