Ingredients

  • 2 oz white chocolate
  • ¼ cup virgin coconut oil
  • 1 tsp matcha
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 20 whole strawberries
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Stir white chocolate, oil, matcha, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (don't let bowl touch water) until nearly smooth. Remove from heat; stir until chocolate is melted. Set into a larger bowl of ice water and chill, stirring constantly, until thickened and just starting to lose its sheen, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Working one at a time, hold berries by stems and dip into matcha mixture to coat; let excess drip back into bowl. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds. (Depending on their size, you will be able to coat 15-20 berries.) Reheat matcha mixture if it starts to set before you have dipped all the berries. Chill dipped berries until shell is set, 20-25 minutes.
