Scale
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

- 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup raw organic cacao powder
- Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
- 12 large organic strawberries – washed and dried very well, stems left on
Instructions
- Line a cooking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, add the lime juice, coconut milk and coconut oil; heat over low heat for about 1 minute, or until oil is melted.
- Slowly stir in the maple syrup, vanilla and cacao powder (sprinkling only a tiny amount at time, and mixing until fully dissolved before adding more). Mix to combine well. Stir in a pinch of unrefined sea salt.
- Take a strawberry, and dip it completely into the chocolate. Twirl it around to completely coat the strawberry.
- Transfer the strawberry to the cookie sheet to cool.
- Repeat until all the strawberries are covered.
