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
- 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.)
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.
