Description
These healthy pink chocolate covered strawberries are a fun and festive treat made with naturally colored pink chocolate and juicy fresh strawberries. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, baby showers, or a guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, rinsed and dried completely
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white melting wafers
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother texture)
- 1–2 tsp beetroot powder or freeze-dried strawberry powder (for natural pink color)
- Optional toppings: crushed freeze-dried strawberries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between until smooth.
- Stir in beetroot powder or strawberry powder until desired pink color is achieved.
- Dip each strawberry into the pink chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Immediately add optional toppings before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve chilled or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry to help chocolate stick.
- Adjust beetroot powder amount for lighter or darker pink hue.
- Use dairy-free white chocolate for a vegan option.
