Ingredients

Scale

For the Strawberry Cream Filling

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and pureed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 8 ounces high-quality dark or milk chocolate (50-70% cocoa), chopped or in chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Cream Filling: Wash and finely puree fresh strawberries. Gently heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until warm but not boiling, then pour over the white chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is smooth. Fold in the strawberry puree, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy.
  2. Chill the Cream Filling: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to shape.
  3. Shape the Strawberry Cream Centers: Once firm, use a melon baller, teaspoon, or small cookie scoop to form bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and return to the fridge for 20 minutes to set.
  4. Melt the Coating Chocolate: Melt your chosen chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  5. Coat the Strawberry Cream Centers: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled filling ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place coated chocolates back on parchment paper and chill until the coating sets fully.
  6. Final Touches and Serving: Optionally, decorate with a drizzle of contrasting chocolate, edible glitter, or tiny fresh strawberry slices before serving or packaging.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh strawberries for best flavor and color.
  • Temper coating chocolate for a shiny finish and satisfying snap.
  • Work in a cool environment to prevent filling from melting during shaping and dipping.
  • Allow filling to chill thoroughly to ease shaping and coating process.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate for superior taste and texture.
