Ingredients :

• 1 pound (about 450g) fresh strawberries, washed and dried
• 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate or chocolate chips
• 4 oz (115g) white chocolate (optional, for drizzle)
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil (to smooth chocolate)

1. Wash strawberries and dry them well with paper towels. Keep them at room temperature.
2. Line a tray with parchment paper.
3. Break dark chocolate into pieces and put in a heat-safe bowl. Add oil if using.
4. Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave (30 sec, stir, repeat until smooth).
5. Hold a strawberry by the stem and dip it into melted dark chocolate. Twist to coat evenly.
6. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place strawberry on the lined tray.
7. If using white chocolate, melt it the same way and drizzle over cooled dark chocolate or make stripes.
8. Sprinkle chopped pistachios, sprinkles, or gold dust while chocolate is still wet.
9. Chill the tray in the fridge for 15–30 minutes until chocolate sets.
10. Serve once firm.

tips to make Dubai Chocolate Strawberries

• Pat strawberries completely dry before dipping to help chocolate stick.

variation (if any)

• Nut crust: roll dipped berries in crushed pistachios or almonds.
• Luxe Dubai style: add tiny edible gold leaf pieces after dipping for a golden touch.
