Ingredients
- fresh strawberries — 400g
- dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) — 200g
- coconut oil — 1 tbsp
Method
- 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry with kitchen paper; ensure they are at room temperature.
- 2
Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- 3
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bain-marie), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- 4
Add the coconut oil and stir gently until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
- 5
Remove the bowl from the heat.
- 6
Holding the strawberry by the green hull, dip each one into the chocolate, swirling to coat evenly, then place on the prepared tray.
- 7
Refrigerate the tray for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.

Why this works
The natural acidity and bright sweetness of the strawberries perfectly balance the deep, complex bitterness of 70% dark chocolate, while the coconut oil adds a silky mouthfeel and helps the shell snap.
