Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 11.25 ounces (1 cup) sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Coating Ingredients
- 2½ cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Make the filling: In a food processor, blend the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder to form a smooth base for the filling.
- Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry powder with sweetened condensed coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until completely smooth, then refrigerate the mixture for 30–45 minutes to firm it up enough to scoop.
- Shape the filling: Using a spoon or scoop, form the chilled mixture into small balls or press it into chocolate molds. Place these on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes until solidified.
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts or over a double boiler, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and fully melted.
- Coat the chocolates: Use a fork or dipping tool to dip each frozen strawberry cream piece into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before laying them back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the coated chocolates for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Store the finished chocolates in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Freeze-dried strawberries must be finely powdered to ensure a smooth filling texture.
- Use good quality chocolate chips for the best coating results and richer flavor.
- Refrigerate the filling long enough to make shaping easy and prevent melting during dipping.
- These chocolates are best stored in the fridge to maintain their texture and freshness.
- Feel free to substitute semi-sweet or dark chocolate depending on your sweetness preference.
