Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Makes 16 strawberries (8 servings)

Ingredients

  • 16 large strawberries washed and completely dried
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate chopped
  • 4 ounces white chocolate chopped
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional, for shine
  • Edible gold leaf flakes
  • 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry; any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy, about 3 minutes. Stir in coconut oil if using.
  • Holding each strawberry by the green cap, dip two-thirds of the berry into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
  • Place each dipped berry on the parchment and refrigerate for 10 minutes, until the chocolate is set and no longer tacky to the touch.
  • Melt the white chocolate the same way and drizzle it over half the berries using a spoon in thin back-and-forth lines.
  • While the drizzle is still wet, scatter crushed pistachios over some berries and press tiny flakes of gold leaf onto others.
  • Return the berries to the refrigerator for 10 more minutes to fully set before arranging on a serving plate.

Good to Know

Make these no more than a few hours ahead; berries weep once cut or dipped too early, so hold them whole, dry, and uncut until you are ready to dip.
