Few treats feel as effortlessly elegant as a perfectly chocolate-dipped strawberry, and this version delivers that same wow factor without any dairy or gelatin in sight. Many store-bought chocolate-covered strawberries and confections sneak in milk solids or other animal-derived additives, so making them at home gives you full control over every ingredient. The magic here comes from just three core components ā fresh strawberries, dairy free dark chocolate, and a touch of coconut oil ā melted together over a gentle double boiler until glossy and smooth. That small addition of coconut oil is the secret to a beautifully fluid dip and a chocolate shell that sets with a satisfying snap. A pinch of flaky sea salt on top while the chocolate is still wet takes the flavor from simple to seriously sophisticated. Once they've chilled in the fridge and the coating is firm, you've got a stunning, crowd-pleasing treat that looks like it came from a fancy chocolatier. They're best enjoyed the same day, which honestly won't be a problem.

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.
Fill a small saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Set 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.
