Few treats feel as indulgent as a perfectly chocolate-dipped strawberry, and this version delivers that glossy, snappy shell without any dairy in sight. The secret to that smooth, professional-looking coating is a simple double boiler method ā gentle, even heat keeps the dairy free dark chocolate silky and easy to work with. A small spoonful of coconut oil is the real workhorse here, giving the melted chocolate just enough fluidity to coat each berry cleanly and set into a satisfying crack. Drying the strawberries completely before dipping is the one step you absolutely cannot skip, since even a little moisture will cause the chocolate to seize up and turn grainy. A pinch of flaky sea salt over the top while the chocolate is still wet takes these from simple to genuinely impressive. They're elegant enough for a dinner party platter but easy enough to throw together on a weeknight craving. Chill them until firm, serve the same day, and watch them disappear fast.

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.
