Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 11.25 ounces (1 cup) sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Coating
- 2½ cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Make the filling: Place the freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and blend until they become a fine powder, creating a smooth base for the filling.
- Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry powder, sweetened condensed coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture is completely smooth. Refrigerate this mixture for 30 to 45 minutes to firm up for easy shaping.
- Shape the filling: Using a spoon or scoop, form the chilled mixture into small balls or press it into chocolate molds. Place the shaped filling onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes until solidified.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips along with coconut oil in short 20-30 second bursts, stirring frequently. Alternatively, use a double boiler to gently melt the mixture until smooth, glossy, and fully melted.
- Coat the chocolates: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen strawberry cream piece into the melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the coated chocolates for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Store the finished chocolates in the refrigerator for up to 1 week for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Freeze-dried strawberries provide intense flavor without moisture; do not substitute with fresh strawberries.
- Use a good-quality chocolate chip for the best taste and smooth coating.
- Coconut oil helps the chocolate coating become shiny and easier to work with.
- Keep chocolates refrigerated to maintain firmness and freshness.
- For easier handling when dipping, work quickly so the filling remains frozen.
