Juicy strawberries dipped in glossy melted chocolate and finished with a shower of colorful sprinkles are simple and festive. This easy chocolate-covered strawberries recipe takes just four ingredients and makes a treat that feels special enough for any celebration.
Prepare a wire rack placed over a parchment paper-lined baking tray.
Melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil in a double boiler over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave for about 2 minutes until melted. Whisk together to combine well.
Dip each strawberry in the melted chocolate. Hold them by the green stem and avoid getting chocolate on the leaves.
Press sprinkles onto them while the chocolate is still melted or roll them in a shallow dish to coat all sides.
Arrange the strawberries on the rack and let excess chocolate drip down onto the paper.
Transfer the tray to the fridge and let them chill for at least 30 minutes until the shell solidifies. Once the chocolate is set, serve on a platter or keep refrigerated for later.
Notes
Gently twist the strawberry as you lift it out of the chocolate so it doesn't puddle up at the bottom. Give them the full chill time in the fridge so the shell sets completely all the way through.Serve: You can set them out alongside white chocolate mousse, then pair the spread with strawberry lemonade or coffee.Store: Arrange leftovers in a single layer in a lightly sealed airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Leaving the lid slightly loose keeps moisture from building up and making the chocolate sweat.
