Chocolate-covered strawberries feel like a treat that should be complicated, but this version comes together with just a handful of ingredients and a simple double boiler setup. The secret to that glossy, snappy shell is dairy-free dark chocolate melted with a touch of coconut oil — it coats beautifully and sets into something that looks genuinely impressive. One thing to keep in mind: the strawberries need to be completely dry before dipping, because even a little moisture will cause the chocolate to seize up and turn grainy. Once you nail that step, the whole process is smooth and almost meditative. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still wet takes these from simple to seriously elegant. After 30 minutes in the fridge, you've got firm, glossy berries ready to serve — no dairy required, and no one will miss it. This recipe makes enough for a crowd of six, so it's perfect for a dinner party, a date night spread, or just a weekend treat you'll feel good about.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it near your work area. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry — 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.
