Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 lb Fresh Florida strawberries
Chocolate Coating
- 16 oz dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces suitable for dipping and easy eating.
- Melt Chocolate: Combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on half power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate becomes smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat as the chocolate can become grainy.
- Dip Strawberries: Insert toothpicks into each strawberry piece. Dip each piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated, then place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze: Place the cookie sheet with the chocolate-coated strawberries into the freezer. Freeze for at least one hour or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
- Store: Once hardened, remove the strawberry bites from the parchment and transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Keep them frozen until ready to enjoy for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm strawberries for best results to maintain shape during freezing.
- Ensure the chocolate does not overheat to prevent grainy texture.
- Serve immediately after removing from freezer for the perfect frozen bite.
- These treats can last for up to 2 weeks in the freezer when stored properly.
- For a sweeter variation, milk chocolate chips can be used instead of dark chocolate.
