Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Skewers (Printable)

Juicy strawberries coated in smooth chocolate and topped with crunchy nuts or coconut flakes.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 24 large fresh strawberries, hulled

→ Chocolate

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

→ Garnishes (optional)

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

# Directions:

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

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Takes 20 minutes total but tastes like you spent your whole afternoon on it.
  • Works for fancy dinner parties or lazy Tuesday nights equally well.
  • The dipping moment is genuinely therapeutic—something about that chocolate coating never gets old.
02 -
  • Dry strawberries are non-negotiable—dampness will sabotage your chocolate coating every single time.
  • Don't overcomplicate the chocolate; a little oil makes it flow beautifully without seizing.
  • The window for topping is crucial—too early and they slide off, too late and they won't stick.
03 -
  • Room-temperature strawberries dip cleanly, but cold ones from the fridge make the chocolate set faster—experiment and see which feels easier in your hands.
  • If your chocolate seizes or gets too thick, a single teaspoon of oil stirred in gently can often save it.
