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)
  • 12 tsp beetroot powder or freeze-dried strawberry powder (for natural pink color)
  • Optional toppings: crushed freeze-dried strawberries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut


Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between until smooth.
  3. Stir in beetroot powder or strawberry powder until desired pink color is achieved.
  4. Dip each strawberry into the pink chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Immediately add optional toppings before the chocolate sets.
  6. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  7. 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.
