Instructions

Preparation

15 minutes

Wash strawberries, carefully pat dry, and remove the hulls. Halve larger strawberries, leave smaller ones whole. Optionally sprinkle lightly with raw sugar.

Dehydrating

8-14 hours

Place strawberries cut-side up on dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 55-65 °C until the strawberries have shrunk considerably and are sticky and leathery. Check regularly.

Chocolate Dipping

20 minutes

Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in a double boiler and allow to cool to about 45 °C. Dip dried strawberries halfway into the chocolate and place on parchment paper. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes.

Setting & Storage

30-60 minutes

Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Store in airtight containers, separated by parchment paper, in a cool, dry place for up to 3 weeks.

Pro Tip

Select uniformly sized strawberries for consistent drying time. After dipping in chocolate, allow to set in the refrigerator and do not stack on top of each other.
