Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 12 fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Pat them dry completely with paper towels.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if using.
- Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each compartment of an ice cube tray to coat the bottom.
- Place one strawberry upright in each chocolate-filled compartment.
- Pour additional melted chocolate over each strawberry until fully covered.
- Tap the tray gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and level the chocolate.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Once set, gently pop out each chocolate covered strawberry from the tray and serve.
Notes
- Use silicone ice cube trays for easier removal.
- You can use white or dark chocolate for variety.
- Top with crushed nuts, sprinkles, or a drizzle of white chocolate before chilling for extra flair.
