Few treats feel as indulgent as a perfectly chocolate-dipped strawberry, and this version delivers that same wow factor without any dairy or tree nuts in sight. The secret to that glossy, snappy shell is a double boiler technique ā gentle, even heat keeps the dairy free dark chocolate silky smooth rather than grainy or scorched. A small spoonful of coconut oil is all it takes to give the coating that satisfying bite and a beautiful sheen. Patting the strawberries completely dry before dipping is the one step you really cannot skip, since even a little surface moisture will cause the chocolate to seize up instantly. A pinch of flaky sea salt scattered on top while the chocolate is still wet adds a subtle savory contrast that makes each bite genuinely hard to put down. These are elegant enough for a dinner party platter but simple enough to throw together on a weeknight when you just need something a little special.

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.
