Units
Scale
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/3 cup raw cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons raw agave
- 1 16oz container of organic strawberries
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they are completely dry.
- Warm the coconut oil on very low heat until it just reaches a liquid form. Be careful not to overheat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, raw cacao powder, and agave until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate shell has hardened.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade vegan chocolate dipped strawberries.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to help the chocolate adhere better. Use high-quality raw cacao for the best flavor. These strawberries are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
