Equipment

  • 1 Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 Silicone baking mat or parchment paper
  • 1 Heart-shaped cookie cutter
  • 1 Fork or dipping tools
  • 1 Cooling rack or tray
  • Small bowls for toppings

Ingredients
  

  • 6~8 fresh strawberries
  • 100 g dark chocolate (70% or more recommended)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smooth coating)
  • Toppings (sprinkles, crushed nuts, sea salt, etc.)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries gently and pat them dry with a paper towel. The strawberries should be completely dry for the chocolate to adhere properly.
  • Melt the Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it using a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. If you prefer, add a tablespoon of coconut oil for a smoother coating.
  • Shape the Strawberries: Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to shape the strawberries. For a more uniform look, you can trim the tops to make them resemble hearts.
  • Dip the Strawberries: Dip the strawberries into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered. Gently shake off any excess chocolate.
  • Chill the Strawberries: Place the dipped strawberries on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Let them chill in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  • Decorate: Once the chocolate is set, decorate the strawberries with toppings like sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt. You can also drizzle extra chocolate on top for added decoration.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve the heart-shaped chocolate strawberries on a decorative plate and enjoy this sweet, healthy treat! Perfect for Valentine's Day or any special occasion.

Notes

  • You can use milk chocolate or white chocolate if you prefer a sweeter flavor, but dark chocolate offers health benefits like antioxidants and heart-healthy properties. 🍫
  • For a dairy-free option, choose a plant-based chocolate. 🌱
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate for a delicious sweet and salty contrast! 🧂
