Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Nuts (Printable)
Juicy strawberries coated in silky chocolate and crunchy nuts, ready in 20 minutes for a delightful indulgence.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 16 large fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried, stems intact
→ Chocolate
02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped or chips
→ Nuts
03 - 1/3 cup finely chopped mixed nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios)
→ Optional
04 - 1 tsp coconut oil or unsalted butter for smoother consistency
# How-to Steps:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place chopped nuts in a shallow bowl.
02 - Melt chocolate with coconut oil or butter (if using) in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
04 - Immediately roll or sprinkle chocolate-coated strawberry in chopped nuts, pressing gently to adhere.
05 - Arrange dipped strawberries on prepared tray. Let stand at room temperature until set, approximately 20 minutes, or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
06 - Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
# Expert Pointers:
01 -
- These look ridiculously impressive but take about twenty minutes from start to finish
- The combination of warm chocolate and cold fresh strawberries hits different every single time
02 -
- Even one drop of water on your strawberries or in your chocolate bowl will ruin the texture completely
- Room temperature strawberries work better than cold ones because the chocolate adheres better
03 -
- Hold the strawberry at an angle when dipping to get chocolate higher up the sides
- Gently shake off excess chocolate before rolling in nuts so the coating stays even
