Few treats feel as indulgent as a perfectly chocolate-dipped strawberry, and this version delivers that same wow factor without any of the preservatives that sneak into so many store-bought chocolates and coatings. BHA and BHT are synthetic antioxidants used to extend shelf life, and they show up in a surprising number of packaged chocolate products ā so making your own dip from scratch with just dairy free dark chocolate and a touch of coconut oil is a genuinely smart move. The coconut oil does double duty here, helping the chocolate melt silky-smooth and giving each berry that glossy, snappy shell once it sets. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled, so you get a perfectly fluid dip without scorching. A pinch of flaky sea salt over the top right before they go into the fridge takes these from simple to seriously impressive. They're elegant enough for a dinner party platter but easy enough to throw together on a weeknight when you just need something sweet.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it near your work area. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry ā any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize.
Fill a small saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Add the chopped dairy free dark chocolate and coconut oil to the bowl.
