chocolate-covered strawberries
These chocolate-covered strawberries are a delicious and simple-to-make sweet treat! I use a homemade dark chocolate hard shell with maca for added nutrients. I love making my own chocolate because it is fun and super easy!
Ingredients:
around one package of strawberries
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil (measured when solid)
1 tbsp raw honey
optional - 2 tsp maca root powder
one tsp ceylon cinnamon
*can sub honey and cacao powder for 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
Method:
wash your strawberries, pat them dry, and space them out on a plate or sheet pan lined with parchment paper or wax paper
in a small saucepan, add coconut oil and turn the heat to extra low
as coconut oil turns liquid, add cacao powder, maca powder, and cinnamon. Stir slowly as chocolate sauce begins to form, then slowly add and mix in honey
if you are using chocolate chips, add chocolate chips and maca and mix until chocolate sauce forms
drizzle chocolate sauce over strawberries and place in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes until the chocolate has hardened
