I don’t know about you, but our summer is off to a good start…
Gone are the orange and brown days of winter. The berries are finally here!
1 pint (3 cups) fresh strawberries
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips OR chocolate chopped into small pieces
1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
Wash strawberries. Spread them out on a towel to dry completely.
Meanwhile, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwaveable cup, mug, or small bowl. Gently microwave the chocolate and coconut oil for 2 minutes at very low power (10 or 20 percent). Check the chocolate and stir if possible. Microwave for another minute on low power and keep checking until the chocolate is mostly melted. Stir vigorously until the remaining chocolate is melted and well combined with the oil.
If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over medium low heat.
Dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate. Place on a sheet of wax paper. The chocolate will set in a about five minutes. Serve.
Yield: approximately 24 strawberries
Prep-time: 10 minutes
