Chocolate covered strawberries feel like a little celebration, especially on Valentine’s Day. These vegan ones have a glossy chocolate shell that sets up nicely, with bright, juicy berries inside. No baking, no fancy gear, just a bowl and a fridge. Make a tray for date night, Galentine’s, or a sweet gift. Scroll down for the ingredients and step-by-step.

Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries 454 g, washed and completely dried
- 5 oz vegan chocolate chips 142 g
- 2 tbsp coconut oil 28 g
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
- Make sure strawberries are totally dry and close to room temperature. Keep the green tops on for a handle.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a dry microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring well after each, until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, then gently twist as you lift it out. Let excess drip back into the bowl.
- Place dipped strawberries on the parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
For a firmer chocolate shell, start with 1 tbsp (14 g) coconut oil and add more only if needed for smooth dipping.
These are best the same day, but they usually keep well for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
