Ingredients

  • 1 16oz/450g container strawberries,
  • ½ cup 60% cacao dark chocolate baking chips*
  • Tbsp coconut oil divided
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips*
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup pecans very finely chopped

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with wax paper or a Silpat™ baking mat. Set aside.
  • Thoroughly wash strawberries and pat dry with a paper towel. Place on the prepared baking sheet and allow to air dry for one hour or until completely dry.
  • Place the dark chocolate chips and one-half tablespoon of coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between until melted and completely smooth.
  • Dip half the strawberries into the dark chocolate until covered. Gently drag the bottom edge against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate before transferring it to the baking sheet.
    Dipping Strawberry into Melted Chocolate
  • Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the semi-sweet chocolate chips and one-half tablespoon of coconut oil.
  • Place the baking sheet of chocolate-dipped strawberries into the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate sets.

    Melted White Chocolate
  • Carefully drizzle the melted white chocolate over half the chocolate-covered strawberries with a spoon. For better control, use a pastry bag fitted with a very small tip or an empty squeeze bottle instead.

  • Dip the bottom of the remaining strawberries in the melted white chocolate and then dip into the bowl of chopped pecans.
