VEGAN CHOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRIES

This vegan chocolate-covered strawberries recipe is quick, healthy, and elegant. All you need are 2-3 ingredients and 15 minutes!

  • Course: Dessert
  • Cuisine: American
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips, vegan (or a a finely chopped dark chocolate bar)
  • 12-16 larege strawberries (stems on, washed)
  • 1 cup coconut (shredded, unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  2. If you're melting the chocolate on the stovetop, place the chopped chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. This method keeps the chocolate away from direct heat, which allows it to melt at a low enough temperature to prevent scorching and separating.  Keep stirring until the chocolate is completely melted.  

  3. If you're melting the chocolate in the microwave, place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe container and heat it on 50% power for one minute. Stir, then continue heating in 30-second increments on 50% power, until the chocolate is completely melted.

  4. Dry the strawberries with paper towels to help the chocolate adhere better, then spread the shredded coconut out on a plate in an even layer.

  5. Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off (you can use a spoon to help catch the dripping chocolate), then immediately press them into the coconut, turning to coat both sides. Place the shredded coconut- and chocolate-covered strawberries onto the prepared cookie sheets to cool.

  6. When finished dipping all of the strawberries, transfer them to the refrigerator to cool and harden until ready to serve.

Bon appétit!
