Ingredients
- 12large fresh strawberrieswith green tops still on
- 1/2cup vegan chocolate chipsI use Kirkland chocolate chips from Costco, which are “accidentally” vegan, thank goodness!
- 1/2teaspoon refined coconut oil
- 1/2cup hazelnuts
Instructions
- Roast your hazelnuts in a 350 degree F. oven for 5-10 minutes. Once roasty, chop into small bits and salt lightly.Set aside to cool.
- Gently wash strawberries. (Once they have been washed, the greens will wilt a little, so these look best the day you use them, though the dipped berries will keep overnight in the fridge.) Gently dry the berries and place on a towel to get as dry as possible.
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave for 30 seconds on high. Stir and then heat for another 30 seconds and then stir again. Once the chocolate is well softened, one at a time, gently holding the green top, dip each strawberry into the chocolate, covering about half of each berry.
- After dipping it in chocolate, immediately roll the bottom in the chopped, roasted hazelnuts.
- Place on a piece of parchment paper and allow to set. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
So quick and simple and a great way to use the extra big strawberries you saved when you made the Homemade Strawberry Shortcakes!
