Ingredients:

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and dried
  • 4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Chocolate: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.

  2. Prepare Pistachios: Finely chop the pistachios and place them in a shallow dish.

  3. Dip Strawberries: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. You can dip the strawberries halfway or coat them entirely, depending on your preference.

  4. Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, roll the dipped strawberries in the chopped pistachios. If desired, you can also sprinkle them with shredded coconut or chia seeds for extra flavor and texture.

  5. Set: Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on the prepared baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.

  6. Serve: Once the chocolate has set, transfer the strawberries to a serving plate or platter. You can serve them immediately or refrigerate them for 30 minutes to firm up the chocolate before serving.

  7. Enjoy: These dark chocolate-covered strawberries with pistachios are a delightful and healthy Valentine's Day dessert. They're perfect for sharing with your loved one!

Adding pistachios not only provides a delicious crunch but also adds a unique flavor to this classic dessert. Enjoy!
