Dark Chocolate Strawberries

Dark Chocolate Strawberries

Dubbed “nature’s candy” fruit contains both glucose & fructose. Glucose, as any carb-conscious foodie will attest, causes a rapid blood sugar rise. Fructose, on the other hand, typically raises blood sugar more gradually. Berries are a superfood packed with antioxidants & fiber, making them an excellent choice for a naturally sweet treat. Strawberries in particular, hold up exceptionally well dipped in chocolate, as “discovered” by Lorraine Lorusso in the 1960s. This time-tested recipe is beyond simple — perfect for that last minute dessert.

INGREDIENTS
6 ounces 85% dark chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 cups strawberries with stems & leaves, approximately 12

Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment.

Rinse and pat dry strawberries.

Over medium heat, warm a large saucepan.

Add 3 cups water and simmer.

Fit a small glass bowl inside saucepan, creating a double boiler.

Decrease heat, ensuring water does not splash into bowl.

Add chocolate and coconut oil, stirring occasionally, until melted and combined.

Holding strawberries by stems, dip each in melted chocolate.

Lay on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes, until set.

Serve or store refrigerated.
