Chocolate covered strawberries? Nothing new, I know, but other than literally whipping up some cream to serve with my fresh strawberries, I can’t think of another more Wimbledon appropriate snack than some white chocolate covered strawberries. These ones are dipped in some dairy free white chocolate and rolled in roasted hazelnuts for a little crunch.
And this recipe could not be easier to follow in terms of ingredients, you only need three ingredients, and it’s 50/50 – 50g of both the white chocolate and the chopped hazelnuts.
Serve as a quick snack, take on a picnic, or pour yourself a Pimm’s and tune into Centre Court and enjoy.

MICROWAVE VS HOB
It’s important that you melt your chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water rather than opting for the microwave here. I don’t know why, but vegan white never melts that well in the microwave and when it does start to melt, it always seems to burn faster than regular dairy chocolate does. Your chocolate will melt better and spread a lot further if you use the pan. I know it takes slightly longer, but it’s worth it.
INGREDIENT CHOICES AND SUBSTITUTIONS
I used the Moo Free white chocolate baking drops for this recipe. Obviously, they’re small and the same size, so they melt evenly and quickly, but you can use any vegan white chocolate of your choice. I also used pre-chopped roasted hazelnuts for this recipe to make it a little easier, but you can pulse your roasted hazelnuts in a food processor for a few seconds to chop them to roughly the same finely chopped size.

This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and vegan friendly. The chocolate I used is also soy free, but many do contain soy, so please check your labels if this is an allergen of concern. This recipe does contain nuts.

Ingredients
- 10 medium to large strawberries
- 50 g dairy free white chocolate chips
- 50 g roasted chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- Cut a strip of baking parchment and leave to one side. Take a small plate and spread your chopped hazelnuts on it in an even layer.
- To melt the dark chocolate, fill a small pan with water and bring to a simmer. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and rest it on top of the pan, ensuring the bowl isn’t touching the water. Stir the chocolate to gradually melt it.
- Gently hold the strawberries by the leafy top and dip into the chocolate, then roll in the hazelnuts. Tap off any excess chocolate and put on the parchment to set. Repeat until you’ve covered all the strawberries.
