When I first experimented with chocolate and strawberries on crostini, I was amazed at how well the flavors complemented each other. Toasting the bread just right ensures it remains crisp, providing a perfect base for the luscious toppings. I often drizzle some extra melted chocolate on top for a little added flair. Each bite is a delight of textures and flavors that transport me to a lovely café in Paris.

I’ve found that using high-quality dark chocolate elevates this recipe noticeably, adding a depth of flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of ripe strawberries. Make sure to let the crostini cool a bit before topping them with the chocolate to prevent it from melting too quickly. Simple details like this can make a big difference!

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

Assemble the Crostini

Once the crostini have cooled, spread a layer of melted chocolate on top of each slice. Top with a few strawberry slices and add a sprig of fresh mint for garnish.
