Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Nuts (Print Version)

Fresh strawberries coated with melted dark chocolate and topped with crunchy nuts for a delightful treat.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 16 large fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried, stems intact

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 oz high-quality dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil or unsalted butter (optional, for smoother consistency)

→ Nuts

04 - 1/3 cup finely chopped mixed nuts (pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place chopped nuts in a shallow bowl for easy access.
02 - Melt chocolate with coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each burst.
03 - Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip approximately two-thirds of the berry into melted chocolate, ensuring even coating.
04 - Immediately roll or sprinkle the chocolate-coated portion in chopped nuts, pressing gently to adhere.
05 - Transfer prepared strawberries to lined baking sheet. Let stand at room temperature for 30–45 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate sets completely.
06 - Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours for optimal freshness.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These look like you spent hours at a fancy chocolatier but come together in under 20 minutes
  • The combination of crisp nuts, silky dark chocolate, and juicy strawberries hits every perfect texture note
  • They are elegant enough for a dinner party but simple enough for a random Tuesday night craving
02 -
  • Even a single drop of water can cause melted chocolate to seize into a grainy, unusable mess, so keep your equipment completely dry
  • Room temperature strawberries work far better than cold ones straight from the fridge, as condensation will prevent the chocolate from sticking properly
03 -
  • Work quickly once the chocolate is melted because it will start to thicken and become difficult to dip smoothly
  • Store the finished strawberries in a single layer in the refrigerator, but bring them to room temperature 15 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture
