Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 9 oz 70% dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp virgin coconut oil
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt
  • 2 oz white chocolate
  • 2 tbsp crushed pistachios

Instructions:

  1. Rinse 1 lb fresh strawberries under cold water. Note: They must be bone dry. Pat each one with a paper towel and let them air dry for 30 minutes.
  2. Finely chop 9 oz 70% dark chocolate. Note: Smaller pieces melt more evenly and won't burn.
  3. Place chocolate and 1 tsp virgin coconut oil in a double boiler over low heat.
  4. Use a spatula until the mixture is glossy and completely liquid.
  5. Stir in a pinch of flaky sea salt once the chocolate is off the heat.
  6. Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into the chocolate, swirling slightly until coated three quarters of the way up.
  7. Lift the berry and let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl for 5 seconds.
  8. Set the berry on the prepared sheet. If you're using this Valentine Strawberries recipe style, leave space between each.
  9. Melt 2 oz white chocolate, drizzle over the set dark chocolate, and immediately sprinkle 2 tbsp crushed pistachios.
  10. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 mins until the surface looks matte and firm.
