Cooking Tips
- Achieving the right texture for the strawberry mixture: Ensure that the strawberries are mashed well and that the chia seeds have enough time to absorb the liquid, which typically takes about 10-15 minutes.
- Melting chocolate properly: Use short intervals in the microwave and stir in between to avoid burning the chocolate. Adding coconut oil helps in getting a smooth, glossy finish that coats the strawberry medallions evenly.
- Freezing: Make sure the medallions are firm enough before dipping into chocolate to maintain their shape and make the coating process easier.
