Dairy-Free Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

Dairy-Free Chocolate Dipped Strawberries are a quick, delicious, easy-to-make Valentine’s Day or special occasion treat! They are made with allergen-friendly “milk” and white chocolate chips, and tips and tricks are included so you get the right chocolate consistency! {VG + GF}

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries, rinsed and dried
  • 10 ounce bag allergen-friendly chocolate chips 
  • 2 teaspoons teaspoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1/41/2 cup allergen-friendly white chocolate chips
  • Pinch of sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Rinse the strawberries in cool water and then lay them on a thin cloth towel or a row of paper towels. Pat them dry as well as you can. Set them aside to continue air drying.
  2. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and melt according to package instructions. Make sure to stir at least a few timings during the melting process so the chocolate doesn’t clump and the coconut oil has a chance to blend with the chocolate pieces. Remove from the microwave to cool.
  3. Check on the strawberries and pat dry any remaining water. At this stage, you can begin dipping the strawberries into the chocolate, using the microwave-safe bowl. Or if you find the bowl is too wide and it’s difficult to get the strawberries evenly coated, then transfer the melted chocolate to a heat-proof mug or small glass measuring cup and dip the strawberries in the chocolate that way. Quickly place each strawberry on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. If you’d like to add white chocolate piping, then melt the white chocolate according to package instructions. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small baggie. Then smush the chocolate into one corner of the baggie and cut a tiny snippet to allow the chocolate to flow out. Gently squeeze the white chocolate out of the baggie, like a pastry piping bag, and, using a pendulum motion, sway the baggie over the strawberries, allowing the icing to drizzle over the fruit.
  5. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired, or enjoy as is. Refrigerate leftover strawberries in an airtight container for 1-2 days.

Notes

  • I have tried Enjoy Life, Nestle, and Chatfield’s allergen-friendly chocolate chips. If you have another brand you prefer, then go for it! It will likely work here!
