Few treats feel as indulgent as a perfectly chocolate-dipped strawberry, and this version delivers all that elegance without any dairy or honey in sight. The secret to that glossy, snappy shell is a double boiler method ā gentle, even heat keeps the dairy free dark chocolate silky smooth, while a small spoon of coconut oil gives it that luxurious, dippable consistency. Completely dry strawberries are the other non-negotiable here, since even a drop of water can cause the chocolate to seize up and turn grainy. Once you've got the technique down, the whole process is surprisingly quick and deeply satisfying. A pinch of flaky sea salt scattered over the wet chocolate before it sets takes these from simple to genuinely stunning. They need just 30 minutes in the fridge to firm up, making them a realistic last-minute dessert for a dinner party or a romantic night in. Serve them the same day and they'll have that perfect snap when you bite through the shell into the juicy, ripe berry underneath.

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.
