20 Chocolate and Strawberry Desserts That Taste Like Heaven

Chocolate and strawberry desserts have become synonymous with indulgence and romance, especially around Valentine's Day. Maybe you love the rich, velvety texture of chocolate treats or the sweet-tart flavor of a strawberry recipe. Why not opt for a combination of the two? Strawberry and chocolate are meant to go together. Chocolate has a deep and sometimes bitter flavor that contrasts with the brightness of ripe strawberries. Together, it’s a match made in heaven that can work in a variety of dishes from layer cakes to no-bake desserts. We’ve rounded up a collection of our favorite recipes that showcase this brilliant flavor combination, with options to suit all skill levels. Before delving in too deep, let’s start with a classic chocolate-dipped strawberry recipe. Look for long-stem strawberries to make dipping easier, and finish them off with a drizzle of white chocolate to provide a high-contrast decoration that just begs to be tasted.

Strawberry shortcakes are a great way to showcase fresh summer strawberries. There’s shredded coconut and semisweet chocolate chips baked into these light and fluffy cakes for a fun twist on the classic.

Not up for much cooking? Serve this fluffy chocolate dip with a variety of sprinkles and fresh fruit. Strawberries are the natural choice, but this dip would also work with other fruit like sliced apples or pineapple.

A light and airy angel food cake can be the perfect option for enjoying the classic combo of strawberries and chocolate without feeling weighed down. The strawberries are tossed in a bit of sugar, but ripe summer strawberries might not need anything at all.
