What You Need to Make Vegan Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Equipment Needed:

• Medium size pot: If you have a double boiler that will work too. I’ve always lived places with small kitchens with limited storage space and have never had room for one. A medium pot with a glass bowl on top works great too!
• Heat-safe glass bowl: You’ll need a size that easily nestles on the top of your pot.
• Baking sheet: A medium to large size baking sheet to place your dipped strawberries on. You’ll also need room in your refrigerator for it!
• Parchment paper: To line your baking sheet with. The strawberries will come off the parchment paper easily so you’ll have great looking strawberries.

Ingredients Needed for Vegan Chocolate Covered Strawberries:

• Fresh strawberries: The fresher the better! Get the freshest, reddest strawberries you can find.
• Vegan chocolate chips: Any brand will work. I love the Nestle Allergen Free chocolate chips. I have no affiliation with them – just love their product. I’ve tried many dairy-free chocolate chip brands over the years and they are my favorite. They’re free from all top food allergens so you don’t have to worry about any sneaky ingredients. Ghiradelli’s semi-sweet chocolate chips used to be dairy-free but now contains milk – such a shame because Ghiradelli’s chocolate chips make amazing chocolate covered strawberries!
• Coconut oil: I love adding a little fat to the chocolate. I think it makes it so smooth and creamy. If you have a coconut allergy then feel free to just omit the coconut oil. But if not, then I highly recommend the coconut oil!

Dipped Strawberry Variations

Are you looking to elevate your chocolate strawberries even more? There are so many different options! Feel free to dip your strawberries in any of these fun choices. Just dip the strawberries in melted chocolate first.

• Shredded Coconut
• Crushed nuts (pistachios, almonds, walnuts, pecans)
• Vegan white chocolate
• Sprinkles
• Vegan mini chocolate chips
• Chocolate shavings

How to Make Vegan Chocolate Covered Strawberries

1. Wash the strawberries. After washing the strawberries, set them out to dry. The strawberries need to be COMPLETELY dry for the chocolate to coat them properly. I lay my washed strawberries out on dish towel for a coupe hours to dry – out of sight of my kids or they strawberries will be gone before they are dry. You can also gently dry them with a towel to speed up the process. Just use a dark colored towel as this can stain your dish towels.
2. Prepare your baking sheet. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and place it where you’ll be dipping the strawberries in chocolate.
3. Build your double boiler. You don’t need an actual double boiler to properly melt chocolate. It’s easy to make your own! Fill a medium size pot with a small amount of water. Place a heat proof glass bowl on top of the pot and set the whole thing over the stove to boil. Add the chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir until melted. Remove from heat and give it another stir.
4. Dip the strawberries. Carefully dip strawberries into the melted chocolate. You can also use a spoon to pour chocolate over the strawberry. If you are using any fun additional toppings you can add those to the strawberries here. Once the chocolate is coated in chocolate, lay it on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
5. Chill to harden the chocolate. Place the baking sheet in the fridge to harden the chocolate. Chilling the chocolate covered strawberries will help speed up the process. It can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours to completely harden.
6. Eat, gift, or both!
