Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Skewers (Printable)

Juicy strawberries coated in dark chocolate, garnished with nuts or coconut on skewers.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 24 large fresh strawberries, hulled

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 ounces dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
03 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil or neutral vegetable oil

→ Garnishes (optional)

04 - 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
05 - 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
06 - 2 tablespoons white chocolate, melted (for drizzling)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Hull them if not already done.
02 - Thread 3 strawberries onto each skewer and set aside.
03 - Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in a microwave using 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
04 - Line a tray with parchment paper.
05 - Hold each strawberry skewer and dip partially or fully into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
06 - Place skewers on the tray. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with chopped pistachios or shredded coconut if desired.
07 - Optionally drizzle melted white chocolate over the dipped strawberries for decoration.
08 - Refrigerate skewers for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in under half an hour, so you can make them right before guests arrive without breaking a sweat.
  • The skewers keep your hands clean and make serving feel special, even if youre just treating yourself on a Wednesday.
  • You can dress them up with nuts and drizzles or keep them plain, and theyll still disappear fast.
02 -
  • Even a tiny bit of water in your chocolate will turn it grainy and stiff, so dry those berries like your dessert depends on it, because it does.
  • If your chocolate gets too thick while dipping, set the bowl back over the warm water for a moment to loosen it up again.
03 -
  • Line your tray with parchment, not wax paper, because wax paper can stick to the chocolate and ruin your hard work.
  • If the chocolate sets too fast and you cannot add toppings in time, pop the skewers back in the fridge for a minute, then re-dip the tips to make them sticky again.
