Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Skewers (Printer View)

Juicy strawberries coated in dark chocolate, served on skewers with optional nut and coconut garnishes.

# 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)

# Method Steps:

01 - Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Hull if not already done.
02 - Thread 3 strawberries onto each skewer and set aside.
03 - Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until melted.
04 - Line a tray with parchment paper.
05 - Hold each skewer and dip strawberries partially or fully into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
06 - Place skewers on the tray and while chocolate is wet, sprinkle with pistachios or shredded coconut if desired.
07 - Drizzle melted white chocolate over the dipped strawberries for a decorative finish.
08 - Refrigerate skewers for 15 minutes until chocolate sets. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes less time than brewing coffee but looks like you spent hours in the kitchen.
  • Rescues you when you need something elegant with almost no effort or skill required.
02 -
  • Dry those strawberries like your reputation depends on it, because the chocolate will slide right off if there's even a hint of water.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate or it will seize into a grainy mess—low and slow wins every time.
03 -
  • Add a tiny splash of vanilla extract to the melted chocolate for a subtle warmth that nobody can quite place.
  • If the chocolate starts to thicken while you're dipping, rewarm it gently—it should always flow like heavy cream.
