Instructions

Line a tray with parchment paper. Ensure strawberries are completely dry.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add oil if needed for a glossy finish.
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Immediately sprinkle with toppings like pistachios or coconut, or leave plain to decorate later.
Place dipped strawberries on the prepared tray.
For drizzle, melt white chocolate and use a spoon or piping bag to add thin lines across the coated strawberries.
Apply edible gold gently once the chocolate has set, if using.
Let strawberries sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

Use different chocolates like ruby or caramelized white for variety.Stuff strawberries with ganache or cream for a surprise center.Sprinkle cardamom or dried rose petals for a Middle Eastern twist.Do not freeze; strawberries become mushy when thawed.Serve the same day for best texture and appearance.
