A sweet new trend is captivating TikTok users: dessert “chips and salsa” featuring chocolate shards paired with a fresh strawberry mixture. This creative twist offers a fun and delicious way to enjoy the classic combination of chocolate and strawberries.

 Chocolate “Chips” with Strawberry Salsa

Ingredients:

  • 1 pint of fresh strawberries
  • 2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Strawberry Salsa:

    • Rinse and finely dice the strawberries into small pieces resembling salsa consistency.
    • If desired, sprinkle sugar over the chopped strawberries to enhance sweetness. Mix well and set aside.

      Make the Chocolate “Chips”:

      • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
      • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted chocolate onto the sheet and spread it evenly to a thin layer.
      • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
      • Once set, break the chocolate into triangle-shaped pieces to resemble chips.

        Serve:

        • Arrange the chocolate “chips” on a serving platter alongside a bowl of the strawberry salsa.
        • To enjoy, scoop the strawberry mixture onto the chocolate pieces as you would with traditional chips and salsa.

This simple yet indulgent treat has become a viral sensation, with many users praising its ease of preparation and delightful flavor combination. It’s an excellent option for gatherings, dessert tables, or a cozy night in.
