Beef Free Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chocolate-covered strawberries are one of those treats that feel impossibly fancy for how little effort they actually take. The secret here is a double boiler method that melts dairy free dark chocolate with just a touch of coconut oil, giving you a glossy, snappy shell that clings beautifully to every berry. Drying the strawberries completely before dipping is the one step you really can't skip ā it keeps the chocolate smooth and streak-free rather than clumpy. A pinch of flaky sea salt on top while the chocolate is still wet takes the whole thing from sweet to genuinely sophisticated. These are the kind of thing you bring to a party and everyone assumes you ordered them somewhere. They're just as good as a quiet weeknight indulgence, straight from the fridge after the chocolate has fully set.

Rinse the strawberries under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels ā any moisture on the surface will cause the chocolate to seize. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it nearby.
