Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry so the chocolate adheres well.
Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth; stir frequently to ensure even melting.
Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by its green stem and dip into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing them on parchment paper.
Add White Chocolate Drizzle (optional): If using white chocolate, melt it following the same method as dark chocolate. Use a fork to drizzle over the dipped strawberries for that extra flair.
Cool and Set: Place the dipped strawberries in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely. This ensures every bite is perfectly satisfying.
These delightful Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cups will have everyone asking for seconds (and thirds). With just a few simple steps, you’ve transformed basic ingredients into something extraordinary!
