(Last Updated On: October 26, 2022)Vegan Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe
These delicious vegan chocolate covered strawberries are incredibly easy to make, and so decadent!
Ready to chill in minutes, and packed with so much rich, fruity flavor–these are my go-to dessert for weeknights or even as gifts.
Everyone loves a chocolate covered strawberry, and now you can share a totally dairy-free version, made with just three ingredients.
These are also totally customizable, add your favorite cookie or nut topping before chilling, or roll them in colored sprinkles to fit any party theme.
This helps it be super smooth and delicious, makes the chocolate extra thick, and helps it stay together when you bite.
Also, use the best strawberries you can find–the combination of ripe strawberries and delicious dark chocolate is a match made in heaven!
Dairy Free Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Making these dairy-free is really as easy as subbing in dark chocolate chips for milk chocolate.
Most dark chocolate is already vegan, but many stores are also now carrying vegan milk chocolate chips if you’d prefer!
You can also use this dipping chocolate recipe for any fruit, pretzels, or cookies you need a chocolate coating on!

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Making the Vegan Dipping Chocolate
To make a simple vegan melting chocolate, you only need two ingredients!
The best dark chocolate chips you can fine, with some coconut oil mixed in to help the chocolate stay together when you bite into the strawberries.
If you’ve ever had a chocolate covered strawberry that crumbled to pieces after the first bite, you know how important this is!
Dipping Vegan Chocolate Strawberries
To begin, rinse your strawberries and then pat them dry very well–you don’t want any amount of moisture left on them because the chocolate will not stick well if there is.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the chocolate chips and the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments, mixing in between, until smooth.
Holding the stem of a strawberry, dip it into the chocolate mixture, swirl it around to coat as high as you can, then pull up and transfer to prepared pan to set. Some stems may be weaker on some strawberries, you can always hold the top of the berry instead, you just won’t get coating all the way up to the top, which is okay too!
Place in the fridge to set (at least 15-30 minutes), then enjoy!
Serving Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
You can serve these chocolate strawberries as is after being chilled for a simple chocolaty dessert!
You can also roll them before chilling in sprinkles, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, crushed cookies, or even drizzled vegan white chocolate (homemade or store-bought)!
