Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons - or other neutral oil

Preparation

Step 1 - 🍾🍋🍨

Combine champagne, sugar, and lemon juice in a low heat saucepan until sugar dissolves. Let it cool, then churn in ice-cream maker or freeze and whisk every hour.
Step 2 - 🍓✂️🕳

Hollow out the center of each strawberry from the bottom, ensuring the strawberry remains intact.

Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.

Dip each sorbet-filled strawberry into the melted chocolate and let excess drip off before placing back onto a platter to set in the refrigerator.

Using precision tweezers, garnish each strawberry with an edible gold leaf. Arrange your strawberries to form '2026' on a plate.

Additional

Edible gold leaf might seem a bit extra, but why not end the year on a high note! If you're making this with kids, they'll love helping to fill and dip the strawberries. And for a non-alcoholic version, simply replace the champagne with a sparkling grape juice.
