Ingredients
Scale
- 20 medium to large fresh strawberries, firm and ripe
- 2 cups (480 ml) vanilla ice cream (full-fat recommended)
- 8 ounces (225 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate (good quality)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil
- Optional toppings: 1/4 cup (30 g) crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries under cold water, pat dry, and remove stems while keeping the berry intact.
- Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, fill each strawberry cavity with vanilla ice cream. Place filled strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the filled strawberries for at least 1 hour or until the ice cream is firm.
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Quickly dip each frozen, ice cream-filled strawberry into the melted chocolate, covering halfway or fully. Let excess chocolate drip off and place back on parchment paper.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle optional toppings if desired.
- Return the dipped bites to the freezer for another 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely.
Notes
Freeze strawberries before filling to prevent sogginess. Use high-quality chocolate and add coconut oil to thin the chocolate for smooth coating. Dip strawberries while very cold to avoid melting ice cream and cracking chocolate. Store in airtight container in freezer up to 1 week. Serve straight from freezer for best texture.
