Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Juicy strawberries dipped in smooth vegan chocolate, perfect for a quick, elegant dessert or an easy snack that looks fancier than it is.
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Step 2: Dip the Strawberries
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Step 3: Add Toppings (If You’re Feeling Fancy)
- Roll or sprinkle dipped strawberries with crushed nuts, coconut, or sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
Step 4: Let Them Set
- Place the strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
- Eat immediately or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours (if they last that long).

Extra Tips for Maximum Chocolate Perfection
- Dry strawberries completely before dipping to prevent the chocolate from sliding off.
- Use room-temperature strawberries for better chocolate adhesion.
- Let chocolate cool slightly before dipping to avoid a thin, runny layer.
- Drizzle extra melted chocolate over the hardened strawberries for a pro-level touch.
