Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Fresh Strawberries: Choose ripe, firm strawberries to ensure they hold their shape and sweetness during dipping.
  • Dark Chocolate: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate; its rich flavor pairs beautifully with sweet strawberries.
  • Coconut Oil: A small amount helps thin out the chocolate for smoother melting and dipping.
  • White Chocolate (optional): Use melted white chocolate for drizzling; it adds a lovely contrast and sweetness on top.
  • Sprinkles or Nuts (optional): Personalize your cups by adding colorful sprinkles or chopped nuts for added texture.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Strawberries: Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry to help the chocolate adhere better.

Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted smoothly. Stir often to prevent burning.

Dip Your Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by its stem and dip it into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before placing them on a parchment-lined tray.

Add Toppings (optional): If you’re feeling adventurous, drizzle melted white chocolate over the dipped strawberries or sprinkle them with nuts or sprinkles while still wet.

Chill to Set: Place your tray of dipped strawberries in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.

Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve your stunning Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cups on a beautiful platter and watch as everyone dives in!

These delectable cups are sure to brighten any occasion—be it a birthday party or just an ordinary Tuesday that needs some pizzazz!
