Ingredients

1 lb fresh strawberries 1 lb fresh strawberries
10 oz high-quality gluten-free chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white) 10 oz high-quality gluten-free chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white)
1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for shine) 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for shine)

Instructions

1
Begin by thoroughly washing and drying the fresh strawberries, ensuring they are completely dry to allow the chocolate to adhere properly. Pat them gently with paper towels, as any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize. Set aside on a clean surface.
2
In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water), add the gluten-free chocolate chips and the optional coconut oil or shortening. Stir gently and continuously for about 5-8 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, with a glossy sheen.
3
Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, carefully remove the bowl from the heat. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, holding it by the stem or leaves, and swirl to coat about two-thirds of the berry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl for a few seconds.
4
Place the chocolate-dipped strawberries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, you can drizzle additional melted chocolate over the dipped strawberries for decorative effect. Repeat this process with all the strawberries, working relatively quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
5
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 20-25 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely. The strawberries are ready to serve once the chocolate coating is firm to the touch and no longer sticky.

Tips & Notes

Any plant-based milk works here — oat milk (certified GF) gives the richest mouthfeel; almond milk keeps it lighter.
Coconut milk separates in the can — stir or shake well before using.
Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in 20-second microwave bursts, stirring between each, to prevent scorching.
