Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Cream Filling
- 1 cup fresh ripe strawberries, washed and pureed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 100g white chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Chocolate Coating
- 200g dark chocolate or milk chocolate, chopped (50-70% cocoa content recommended)
Optional Garnishes
- Freeze-dried strawberry powder
- Edible glitter
- Finely chopped toasted nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Cream Filling: Wash and puree fresh strawberries until smooth. Warm the heavy cream and white chocolate together gently over a double boiler, stirring until silky and fully combined. Stir in the strawberry puree, lemon juice, and corn syrup or honey until well incorporated. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it thickens enough to shape.
- Shape the Cream Centers: When the filling is firm but pliable, scoop small portions and roll them into balls using lightly greased hands or drop onto parchment paper. Place the balls into the freezer for about 30 minutes until firm enough for coating.
- Melt the Coating Chocolate: Melt the dark or milk chocolate slowly using a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy. Avoid overheating to maintain the ideal dipping consistency.
- Coat the Cream Centers: Take the chilled strawberry cream balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Transfer the coated chocolates onto parchment-lined trays and refrigerate to set the chocolate shell.
- Final Touches: While the chocolate is still wet, optionally garnish with freeze-dried strawberry powder, edible glitter, or chopped nuts for decoration. Allow the chocolates to fully harden before serving or packaging.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Melt chocolate slowly and stir often to prevent burning or seizing.
- Chill the cream filling thoroughly to ensure smooth coating.
- Work in a cool environment to avoid melting the chocolate prematurely.
- Choose high-quality chocolate for optimal flavor and texture.
