Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Skewers (Print-Friendly)

Juicy strawberries combined with rich dark chocolate and crunchy garnishes for a simple elegant treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 24 large fresh strawberries, hulled

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 oz dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil or neutral vegetable oil

→ Garnishes (optional)

04 - 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
05 - 2 tbsp shredded coconut
06 - 2 tbsp white chocolate, melted (for drizzling)

# How To Make It:

01 - Wash strawberries thoroughly and dry completely. Hull if necessary.
02 - Thread 3 strawberries onto each skewer and set aside.
03 - Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
04 - Line a tray with parchment paper.
05 - Holding each skewer, dip strawberries partially or fully into melted chocolate and let excess drip off.
06 - Place skewers on the lined tray and sprinkle with pistachios or shredded coconut while chocolate is still wet.
07 - Drizzle melted white chocolate over the dipped strawberries for decoration.
08 - Refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate firms. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours when you actually spent twenty minutes between scrolling your phone.
  • You can customize the toppings based on whatever's already sitting in your pantry and still look creative.
  • There's no baking involved, which means no waiting around or burning anything because you forgot to set a timer.
02 -
  • If your strawberries aren't bone-dry, the chocolate will bead up and slide off like it's allergic to fruit, which is heartbreaking and wasteful.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate or it will seize into a thick paste that no amount of stirring will fix—I've thrown out entire bowls because I got distracted.
03 -
  • Let the chocolate cool for about thirty seconds after melting so it coats the berries thickly instead of running right off in a thin layer.
  • If you don't have skewers, just dip the berries by hand and set them on parchment—it's less dramatic but tastes exactly the same.
