Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 Fresh strawberries the bigger, the better!
- 2 c Chocolate milk, dark, or white, your choice
- Drizzle Olive oil for smoothing the chocolate
- 1/4 c Shredded coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prep the Strawberries: Make sure your strawberries are dry and clean.
- Slice the strawberries. The bigger, the better, for that heart shape!
- Create two small holes at the top of each strawberry (for the heart's "valentine" point). Use a knife to slice the bottom of the strawberry into a heart shape.
- If needed, pat the strawberries dry with a paper towel and lay them on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: Using a double boiler, melt your chocolate. Add a few drops of olive oil to the chocolate to help it smooth out as it melts.
- Dip the Strawberries: Once the chocolate is melted, carefully spoon or pour it into the strawberry hearts.
- Finishing Touch: Take your shredded coconut flakes and run a knife through them to finely chop.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped coconut flakes over the chocolate-covered strawberries for a beautiful and tasty finish.
- Let It Harden: Place the strawberries in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden and set.
