Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate – A Classic Treat

A simple yet elegant dessert, these strawberries dipped in chocolate are perfect for any occasion! Juicy strawberries are coated in rich, velvety chocolate and can be customized with drizzles, nuts, or sprinkles. This easy recipe requires just a few ingredients and delivers a glossy, picture-perfect finish every time.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: About 20 chocolate-dipped strawberries 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

1 lb fresh strawberries (washed and thoroughly dried)

8 oz dark, milk, or white chocolate (finely chopped or chocolate chips)

1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (for a smoother texture, optional)

Optional Toppings:

White or dark chocolate drizzle

Crushed nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios)

Shredded coconut

Sprinkles or edible glitter

Sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. (Moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.)
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Use a double boiler (or microwave in 20-second intervals) to gently melt the chocolate. Stir continuously for a smooth, glossy finish. If needed, add coconut oil to create a silkier consistency.
  3. Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem or leaves, dip into the melted chocolate, and swirl to coat evenly. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Decorate & Let Set: If using toppings, sprinkle them immediately while the chocolate is still wet. For a drizzle effect, use a fork or piping bag to create delicate chocolate lines over the strawberries. Allow the strawberries to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  5. Serve & Enjoy! Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
