Vegan Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Chocolate-covered strawberries sound fancy, but let’s be honest—they’re just fruit in a chocolate coat pretending to be gourmet. These vegan delights require zero baking, minimal effort, and deliver maximum satisfaction. Juicy, ripe strawberries take a dive into silky, dairy-free chocolate and emerge looking like they belong in a five-star dessert menu. You get rich, sweet, and slightly tart flavors in every bite. Perfect for date nights, impressing guests, or just treating yourself without judgment. The hardest part? Waiting for the chocolate to set before inhaling them all.
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Sweet, juicy strawberries dipped in smooth, dairy-free chocolate for an effortless yet indulgent dessert.
Ingredients
- 10 fresh strawberries washed and dried (wet strawberries = chocolate disaster)
- 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil for extra smoothness
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts shredded coconut, or sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the chocolate and coconut oil until smooth.
- Stir constantly to prevent burning (because burned chocolate is a crime).
- Step 2: Dip the Strawberries
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate.
- Twist slightly to coat evenly and let excess drip off.
- Place each dipped strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 3: Add Toppings & Chill
- Sprinkle with crushed nuts, coconut, or sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until firm.
- Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Eat immediately or store in the fridge for up to two days.
- Try not to eat them all at once—but no judgment if you do.

Extra Tips for Perfect Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
- Dry strawberries completely before dipping or the chocolate won’t stick.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer taste (and to feel extra fancy).
- Let them chill at room temp for a glossy finish instead of refrigerating immediately.
- Want a drizzle effect? Use melted white dairy-free chocolate for contrast.
