Hazelnut Free Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
Chocolate-dipped strawberries are one of those desserts that look like they came from a fancy confectionery but are genuinely simple to pull off at home. The combination of deep, slightly bitter dark chocolate and sweet, juicy berries is hard to beat, and the white chocolate drizzle adds a beautiful finishing touch that makes them feel truly special. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, boxed chocolates and store-bought dipped fruit can be a minefield — shared facilities and mystery ingredients make them risky without a second thought. Here, you control every single ingredient: just fresh strawberries, good-quality dark and white chocolate, and an optional pinch of flaky sea salt. The tempering technique — melting most of the chocolate, then stirring in the rest off the heat — is the secret to that glossy, satisfying snap when you bite in. It takes a little patience but zero special equipment, just a bowl set over simmering water. These are best enjoyed the day they're made, which honestly won't be a problem.

6 servings
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (about 20–24 medium), with stems

- 4 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
For serving
- flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Rinse the strawberries gently under cold water, then spread them on a clean kitchen towel and pat completely dry — any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize. Leave the stems on for dipping handles.
