Units
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Line a tray or large plate with parchment paper and clear space in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Stir the vanilla extract and sea salt into the melted chocolate.
- Wash, hull, and chop the strawberries into small bite-sized pieces, then pat them completely dry.
- Fold the chopped strawberries into the melted chocolate until evenly coated.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time onto the parchment-lined tray, shaping each into a rough cluster.
- Gently insert a wooden popsicle stick into each cluster.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes, until the chocolate is firm and the pops hold their shape.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
- Dry the strawberries very well so the chocolate adheres smoothly.
- Use firm, ripe strawberries for the best texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
- Let frozen pops sit for 3 to 5 minutes before serving for the best bite.
