🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
Prep the Strawberries: Gently wash and thoroughly dry 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Make sure they are completely dry, as any moisture will prevent the chocolate from sticking properly. I like to lay them out on a paper towel for like, a long time.
Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl, combine 8 ounces of sugar-free chocolate chips (such as Lily's) with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. If using a double boiler, heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted and smooth. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate; slow and steady wins the race. A burnt chocolate is a travesty!
Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent the strawberries from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Dip the Strawberries: Hold a strawberry by its stem or leaves, and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the strawberry. Gently shake off any excess chocolate. If the chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon more of coconut oil to thin it out. This is important!
Place on Baking Sheet: Place the dipped strawberry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strawberries and chocolate.
Add Toppings (Optional): While the chocolate is still wet, you can sprinkle the strawberries with keto-friendly toppings such as chopped nuts (almonds, pecans), unsweetened shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt. Get creative and add some flare!
Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm and set. This is the hardest part, because you have to wait!
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, remove the strawberries from the refrigerator. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. These are best enjoyed fresh! So so yummy
📝 Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark sugar-free chocolate.
Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping.
