A quick and easy recipe combining luscious chocolate covered strawberries with a creamy, spicy jalapeño ranch dip for a unique and crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 ounces white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, finely minced, seeds removed for milder heat
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed or 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly; let air dry for 10 minutes.
  2. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth (about 1.5 to 2 minutes).
  3. Insert a toothpick into the stem of each strawberry and dip into melted chocolate, coating evenly. Let excess drip off and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Optional: Melt white chocolate chips with a teaspoon of coconut oil and drizzle over dipped strawberries.
  5. Chill strawberries in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is firm and shiny.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Stir in minced jalapeño, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Arrange chocolate covered strawberries on a platter with the spicy jalapeño ranch dip on the side and serve.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing. Use short microwave bursts and stir frequently when melting chocolate. Add more coconut oil if chocolate thickens. For a dairy-free ranch, substitute sour cream and buttermilk with coconut yogurt and almond milk.
