Ingredients
  

1 pound (450g) fresh, ripe strawberries with stems

8 ounces (225g) high-quality dark chocolate (60-72% cacao), chopped

4 ounces (113g) white chocolate, chopped (optional, for drizzling)

1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for a smoother melt)

Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Strawberries:

    - Gently wash strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry, as water can prevent the chocolate from sticking.

      Melt the Dark Chocolate:

        - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using).

          - Microwave in short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

            Dip the Strawberries:

              - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling gently to coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

                - Place the dipped strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

                  Optional White Chocolate Drizzle:

                    - If you'd like to add a decorative touch, melt the white chocolate in the same way as the dark chocolate.

                      - Using a fork or a piping bag, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dipped strawberries in a back-and-forth motion.

                        Add Sea Salt (Optional):

                          - If using, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets to add a delightful contrast to the sweetness.

                            Let Set:

                              - Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.

                                Serve:

                                  - Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the strawberries to a serving platter. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
