Tree Nut Free Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
Few desserts land with as much visual impact as a tray of chocolate-dipped strawberries, and this version delivers that glossy, snappy finish that makes them look like they came straight from a confectionery. The key is the tempering technique — stirring reserved chopped dark chocolate into the melted batch off the heat — which coaxes the chocolate into a beautifully shiny coat without any special equipment. A drizzle of melted white chocolate over the top adds contrast and a touch of sweetness, while a pinch of flaky sea salt ties everything together in the best possible way. Store-bought chocolate bark and fancy dipped fruit can be a minefield for anyone avoiding tree nuts, since shared lines and "may contain" warnings are everywhere — making these completely from scratch is the cleanest solution. With just fresh strawberries, good dark chocolate, and white chocolate, there are no hidden fillers or mystery coatings to worry about. These are best served the day they're made, when the berries are juicy and the chocolate is at its most satisfying snap.

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.
