Dark and White Raw Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Welcome to our recipe for raw vegan chocolate-covered strawberries.

This recipe is for you if you’re looking for a healthier, plant-based alternative to traditional chocolate-covered strawberries.

I had always loved the combination of chocolate and strawberries, but I wanted to create a healthier version free from processed sugars and dairy, a little bit lighter than my raw cherry and chocolate fudge.

So, I headed to the grocery store and picked up some raw cacao butter and cacao powder. I also grabbed a few other ingredients, including agave nectar and cashews, to make both a dark chocolate coating and a white chocolate coating.

Once I got home, I worked on melting the cacao butter and stirring in the cacao powder, agave, and a pinch of salt.

Then, I dipped the strawberries one by one, holding onto their tails and rotating my hand slightly to create an even coverage.

I placed each chocolate-covered strawberry on a non-stick tray and set them in the fridge to firm up.

For the white chocolate coating, I added soaked cashews, melted cacao butter, lucuma, and agave to a high-speed blender and pulsed until it became creamy.

I scooped the white chocolate into a piping bag and squeezed it over the coated strawberries.

Result?

A beautifully decorated tray of chocolate-covered strawberries that were both delicious and guilt-free. And that’s how I got the idea for this recipe.

Using just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying dessert that is both sweet and creamy.

These chocolate-covered strawberries are the perfect treat to enjoy any time of year and are sure to impress even the most discerning palate. Let’s get started!

Instructions:

Add cacao powder to the melted cacao butter in a medium bowl and stir until no more lumps remain.

Add agave and salt to the mixture and stir well.

Scoop the white chocolate into a piping bag with the smallest available nozzle (you can create your piping bag by snipping a corner of a solid plastic bag).

Keep the strawberries in the fridge until ready to serve.
