Treat yourself on Valentine’s Day with this easy-to-make strawberry dessert. If you have an allergy, you can always skip the nut butter portion of the recipe and go right to the chocolate.
You’ll need:
- Strawberries
- Your favorite peanut (or other nut) butter
- A bar of white chocolate
- Your favorite bar of milk or dark chocolate
- Coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Wash and dry your strawberries and place them on a parchment lined tray. Microwave 3–5 tablespoons of nut butter along with 1 oz. of white chocolate and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil for 10–15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until runny. Dip strawberries in warmed white chocolate nut butter until coated. Set tray in a refrigerator for 5–10 mins, or until the butter is hardened.
A few minutes before removing your strawberries from the fridge, begin preparing your chocolate. Break up your chocolate bar into small pieces and place in a double boiler or in a heat-safe bowl above a pot of boiling water. As the chocolate begins to melt, add in a tablespoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening. Keep stirring until well combined and thoroughly melted. Use a fork to drizzle over your strawberries. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge.
