Gut Friendly Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Few treats feel as indulgent as a perfectly dipped strawberry, and this version delivers all that satisfaction without any of the digestive baggage that dairy can bring. Fresh strawberries are naturally rich in fiber and antioxidants, making them a genuinely gut-friendly base for something that tastes this luxurious. The chocolate is dairy free and melted down with just a touch of coconut oil, which gives it a silky, glossy finish that sets beautifully in the fridge. Drying the strawberries completely before dipping is the one non-negotiable step ā it keeps the chocolate smooth and properly adhered rather than clumpy or streaky. A pinch of flaky sea salt on top while the chocolate is still wet takes the whole thing from simple to seriously impressive. These are the kind of treat you can set out at a gathering and nobody will ever guess they were made with anything other than the most classic ingredients.

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.
