AuthorNina AroraPrepare the Strawberries
Wash the strawberries gently under cold water and pat them dry completely with a paper towel. Moisture can prevent the carob from sticking.
If using carob chips:
Place the carob chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Alternatively, melt the carob chips and coconut oil in a double boiler on the stove.
If using carob powder:
-
- Mix 1/2 cup carob powder with 2 tbsp coconut oil and 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey in a small saucepan. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until smooth and glossy.
Dip the Strawberries
Hold each strawberry by the stem or use a toothpick, and dip it into the melted carob, swirling to coat about 3/4 of the strawberry.
Allow any excess carob to drip off, then place the strawberry on a parchment-lined tray.
Add Toppings (Optional)
While the carob is still wet, sprinkle the strawberries with shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
Set the Carob
Place the tray of dipped strawberries in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until the carob hardens.
Serve
Arrange the carob-covered strawberries on a plate and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
