Equipment:

• Small microwave-safe bowl
• Baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper

Instructions:

Prepare the Strawberries: 

• Gently wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for the chocolate to adhere properly.   

Melt the Chocolate:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. You can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat.   

Dip the Strawberries: 

• Hold each strawberry by the stem or leaves and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat as much or as little as you desire.   

Set the Chocolate: 

• Place the dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.

Chill (Optional but Recommended):

•  For a firmer chocolate coating, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.

Enjoy! 

• Once the chocolate is set, your delicious keto chocolate dipped strawberries are ready to be devoured.

Tips and Variations:

• Chocolate Quality Matters: Use high-quality sugar-free dark chocolate for the best flavor and smooth melting. Look for brands sweetened with stevia or erythritol.
• Coconut Oil for Smoothness: Adding a tablespoon of coconut oil helps to thin the chocolate slightly, making it easier to dip and creating a smoother, glossier finish.
• Get Creative with Toppings: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with chopped almonds, pecans, shredded unsweetened coconut, a pinch of sea salt, or even a drizzle of sugar-free white chocolate.
• Make it Vegan: Ensure your dark chocolate is dairy-free to make this recipe suitable for a vegan keto diet.
• Storage: Store leftover chocolate dipped strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The chocolate may develop a slight bloom (white coating) over time, but it's still safe to eat.
