Step 1
Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly; leave green stems attached for dipping.
Step 2
Chop dark chocolate into small pieces. Heat in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second pulses, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Step 3
Stir coconut oil and vanilla into the melted chocolate until glossy and pipeable.
Step 4
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip the pointed end into chocolate, twisting gently to coat two-thirds of the berry.
Step 5
Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined plate. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with fleur de sel and press a tiny piece of edible gold leaf onto the wet surface.
Step 6
Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes until chocolate sets hard, then serve.
