Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz White Chocolate Chips Opt for quality chocolate for a richer taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (divided) Helps the chocolate melt smoothly.
  • 2 lb Strawberries (washed and fully dried) Use fresh strawberries for better flavor.
  • Gel Food Color Use gluten-free options like Betty Crocker.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set it aside.
  2. Divide the coconut oil into 3 small microwave-safe bowls, using 1 teaspoon in each. Add 4-6 drops of your favorite Easter gel food colors to each bowl. Stir well with a fork until vibrant.
Melting and Coloring Chocolate
  1. In a microwave-safe container, melt the white chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Stir, then heat in 15-20 second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and silky.
  2. Pour the melted white chocolate into the bowls of colored coconut oil. Mix it with a fork until all is integrated and colorfully blended.
Dipping Strawberries
  1. Take about a third of the strawberries and dip them into one of the colored chocolates, using the leafy part as a handle. Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl and place them on the parchment paper to dry.
  2. If the colors start to harden, reheat them gently.
Drizzling Effect
  1. Cut a small tip off 3 plastic sandwich bags to use as piping bags. Reheat the chocolate for 15 seconds before filling the bags with one color at a time. Drizzle each color over half of the contrasting-colored strawberries.
Harden & Serve
  1. Let the strawberries cool completely, about 10 minutes. Serve them up and enjoy the smiles!

Notes

Melt chocolate in short bursts to avoid burning. Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet-savory twist. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended.
