Ingredients

▢ 400 g strawberries
▢ 200 g dark chocolate
▢ 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Wash the strawberries gently and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Chop the 7 oz (200 g) dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Microwave in 15–20 second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, twisting slightly so it coats evenly. Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray. Leave them at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets.

Notes

Dry the Strawberries Well: Before I dip them, I make sure the strawberries are completely dry so the chocolate sticks neatly.

Melt the Chocolate Slowly: I microwave the chocolate in short bursts and stir each time so it stays smooth and glossy.

Let Excess Chocolate Drip: To keep the coating even, I like to hold each strawberry above the bowl for a moment before placing it down.

Give Them Space: I leave a little room between each strawberry on the tray so they do not stick together while setting.
