These chocolate strawberry gummies are such a fun and unique take on chocolate covered strawberries! They’re fun to make, and taste delicious.

Is there anything more classic for Valentine’s Day than chocolate covered strawberries?! I feel like they’re always a crowd pleaser, but is a little bit overdone? I think there’s always fun to be had with classic foods, and these chocolate covered strawberry gummies are the perfect example of that.

These are made with a homemade strawberry gummy and covered in dairy free chocolate for a fun play on the classic.

Why you’ll love these Chocolate Covered Strawberry Gummies

  • A festive treat! These are the perfect pink treat for Valentine’s Day.
  • A new twist on chocolate covered strawberries. While they are a classic, this is a fun way to get a new take on the flavor.

The Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Gummies

  • Strawberries. 
  • Pomegranate Juice. Cherry juice would also work in this recipe. 
  • Gelatin. To make these vegan, you can use agar instead of gelatin. See notes below on the ratio to use.
  • Honey.
  • Dairy Free Chocolate Chips and Coconut Oil. This makes the chocolate coating.

How to make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Gummies

  • Step One. Blend the strawberries and pomegranate juice and then strain. 
  • Step Two. Combine the juice and honey, then add the gelatin and allow to harden.
  • Step Three. Heat the mixture. 
  • Step Four. Transfer the liquid to the mold and refrigerate.

  • Step Five. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil.
  • Step Six. Remove the gummies from the molds and carefully dip into the chocolate.
  • Step Seven. Transfer to the fridge to set and enjoy.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use whatever mold you have. You technically don’t even need a mold. You can also use a glass storage container and just slice squares.
  • Switch out the juice. Pomegranate juice or cherry juice would both work well in this recipe. 

How to make these gummies vegan

If you want to swap out gelatin for agar, simply use three times less agar than you would gelatin. Agar is a lot stronger than gelatin, so you need to divide the amount of gelatin by three, and then you’ll have the amount of agar needed!

Storage instructions

These gummies store great by themselves in the fridge for 3-4 days without the chocolate, but once you add the chocolate, they don’t store as well. If you want to make these last longer, only cover half of the gummies in chocolate, store the rest in the fridge, and then add more chocolate later if desired!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb strawberries, hulled
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate juice 
  • 2 tbsp + 1 tsp gelatin 
  • 2 tbsp honey 
  • ½ cup dairy free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Add the strawberries & pomegranate juice to a blender or food processor. Blend until fully liquid. Using a fine mesh strainer set over a medium pot, strain out the juice using a silicone spatula to push down the pulp. You can save the pulp to add to yogurt or oatmeal bowls.
  2. Pour the juice into a pot and add the honey. Stir well. Sprinkle the gelatin over the strawberry mixture and lightly mix. Allow to harden for 2 minutes.
  3. Transfer the pot to the stove and heat over low heat for 3-4 minutes or until fully liquid.
  4. Use a dropper to carefully transfer the liquid into the mold. Alternatively, you can use a large glass container. Transfer to the fridge for 4-6 hours or until fully set. 
  5. Carefully remove the gummies from the mold and transfer to a parchment lined plate. 
  6. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler method, or in the microwave in 20 second intervals until totally liquid. Allow to cool so the chocolate isn’t too hot and steaming or it will melt the gummies.
  7. Carefully dip the gummies into the chocolate, either coating the gummies entirely, or just one side. 
  8. Place the gummies on the parchment lined plate and transfer to the fridge until the chocolate is set and serve within the next day or so.

Notes

To make this recipe vegan, you would swap out gelatin for agar. Agar is a lot stronger than gelatin, so you need to divide the amount of gelatin by three, and then you’ll have the amount of agar needed! This comes out to a little bit under 1 tbsp of agar.
