Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Nuts (Print Version)

Juicy strawberries coated in rich chocolate and crunchy nuts, perfect for elegant occasions and quick preparation.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 12 large fresh strawberries, rinsed and thoroughly dried, stems intact

→ Chocolate

02 - 4 oz good-quality dark or milk chocolate, chopped

→ Nuts

03 - 1/4 cup finely chopped mixed nuts (pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts)

→ Optional

04 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil for smoother melted chocolate

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Melt chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until completely smooth.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted chocolate, turning to coat approximately two-thirds of the berry.
04 - Immediately sprinkle or roll the chocolate-coated portion in chopped nuts, allowing excess to fall off.
05 - Place dipped strawberries on prepared baking sheet. Let chocolate set at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm.
06 - Serve immediately or store in a single layer in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between cool juicy strawberries and silky chocolate creates something almost magical in your mouth
  • These come together in under twenty minutes but look like you spent hours preparing something fancy
  • Perfect for when you need an impressive dessert that actually lets you enjoy the party instead of being stuck in the kitchen
02 -
  • Even a single drop of water can seize melted chocolate into a grainy mess, so dry everything thoroughly before starting
  • Room temperature strawberries work much better than cold ones which can cause chocolate to set too quickly and look uneven
03 -
  • Hold the dipped strawberry at an angle and gently shake off excess chocolate before nut coating for the most elegant appearance
  • If chocolate starts cooling too much while dipping, place the bowl back over warm water for thirty seconds
