Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Nuts (Printable Version)
Succulent fresh strawberries coated in melted chocolate and sprinkled with chopped nuts for a delightful treat.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 16 large fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried with stems intact
→ Chocolate
02 - 7 oz high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped into small pieces
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil or unsalted butter, optional for smoother consistency
→ Nuts
04 - 1/3 cup finely chopped mixed nuts such as pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place chopped nuts in a shallow bowl for easy coating access
02 - Combine chopped chocolate with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over gently simmering water, stirring constantly until completely smooth and glossy
03 - Hold each strawberry by the green stem and dip two-thirds of the fruit into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off for even coating
04 - Immediately press or roll the chocolate-coated portion into chopped nuts, ensuring thorough coverage while keeping the top portion visible
05 - Transfer coated strawberries to prepared baking sheet and let chocolate set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes
# Top Tips:
01 -
- The contrast between cool juicy strawberries and silky warm chocolate hits different every single time
- They look like you spent hours at a fancy chocolate shop but come together in under 20 minutes
02 -
- Dry those strawberries completely. Any water droplets will seize your chocolate and there is no coming back from that disaster.
- Room temperature strawberries work better than cold ones. The condensation issue again.
03 -
- Let the chocolate set completely before stacking or storing these strawberries or you will end up with a chocolate nut blob instead of individual treats
- Try adding a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the nuts for that salted chocolate effect
