Instructions
-
Prepare the Strawberries:
-
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry, as any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking.
-
-
Melt the Chocolate:
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips, sea moss gel, and coconut oil.
-
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.
-
-
Dip the Strawberries:
-
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate mixture, coating it halfway or fully.
-
Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then place the strawberry on a parchment-lined tray.
-
-
Add Toppings (Optional):
-
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or other toppings over the strawberries.
-
-
Set the Chocolate:
-
Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
-
-
Serve and Enjoy:
-
Arrange the chocolate-covered strawberries on a plate and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
