Keto Chocolate Covered Strawberries
These Keto Chocolate Covered Strawberries are made with sugar free dark chocolate and sugar free sprinkles, that’s a win win in my book! I also added chopped nuts for more texture!!
When I think of Valentines day I immediately think of chocolate! Eating keto can make this a little challenging but I am here to help! I made these keto chocolate covered strawberries with Lily’s Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips. They are 55% dark chocolate with NO SUGAR ADDED! I also found an awesome local sprinkles company, Natural Sprinkles, that sells sugar free, dye free sprinkles! Their mission is “doing global good, one sprinkle at a time.” Their products are kosher and halal, and many are sugar-free, vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan and soy-free. You can trust that their sprinkles are free from GMOs, preservatives, hydrogenated fats and artificial additives. Plus, they hand-select fruits and vegetables powders to create vibrant colors for our sprinkles, making them dye-free.
These little beauties are a very simple way to show you’re sweet heart some love on Valentines day. Or better yet, they can be a nice treat for just you!
I love when the chocolate pools a little once they are set down to harden… it just gives you that much more yummy chocolate to bite into!
The toothpicks are super helpful when dipping. If you just dip the strawberries using the leafs they can break and the entire strawberry does a death defying dip into the chocolate! This often leads to more ‘eating of the rejects’ than having a nice plate full of berries at the end.
I dip a few berries in plain chocolate too and once they’ve hardened I put some melted chocolate in a sandwich baggie, snip off the tip and drizzle little lines on top. This creates a nice neat design to break up the ones that are covered in toppings.
Look at Natural Sprinkles super cute packaging! They ship all over too!
Enjoy!!
Keto Chocolate Covered Strawberries
These Keto Chocolate Covered Strawberries are made with sugar free dark chocolate and sugar free sprinkles, that's a win win in my book! I also added chopped nuts for more texture!!
Ingredients
- 1 Container Strawberries
- 1 Bag Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1-2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- Sugar Free Sprinkles
- Chopped Nuts
Instructions
-
For added 'hold' stick toothpicks into the strawberries where the leaves are.
-
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave safe bowl. Do this in 20-30 second spurts. It can take 3 times to melt completely. Once out of the microwave, if there a few chips still not melted, just stir the mixture. The surrounding chocolate will be warm enough to finish the melting process.
-
Dip one strawberry at a time into the melted chocolate. Let some of the excess chocolate drip off.
-
Lightly touch each strawberry to your desired topping.
-
Set each strawberry on a parchment paper lined pan or cutting board to rest and harden.
-
If storing in the fridge, make sure they are in a container. If left out the leaves will start to wilt and the berries can take on the 'taste of the fridge'
-
It's best to eat these keto chocolate covered strawberries the day of (if hardened enough) or the next day.
