  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 20-24 chocolates

Ingredients

Fresh Ingredients

  • Fresh Strawberries – 1 cup, firm and ripe
  • Heavy Cream – 1/2 cup

Chocolate and Coating

  • Quality Chocolate (Dark, Milk, or White) – 8 oz
  • Butter – 1 tbsp

Sweets and Flavorings

  • Sugar – 2 tbsp
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Cream Filling: Gently puree the fresh strawberries until smooth. Combine the puree with warm heavy cream, sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract. Chill this mixture in the refrigerator until it thickens slightly, making it easy to pipe or spoon into chocolate molds.
  2. Temper the Chocolate: Carefully melt your chosen chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Proper tempering ensures a shiny and firm chocolate shell that snaps perfectly when bitten.
  3. Form the Chocolate Shells: Pour and swirl the tempered chocolate into silicone molds or chocolate trays, coating every edge thoroughly. Invert the mold to remove any excess chocolate and chill until the shells harden completely.
  4. Fill the Shells with Strawberry Cream: Once the shells are firm, pipe or spoon the chilled strawberry cream filling into each cavity, leaving enough space at the top to seal with more chocolate.
  5. Seal and Chill: Cover the filling with a final layer of tempered chocolate, smoothing the surface carefully. Refrigerate the chocolates until fully set. Once hardened, gently unmold your strawberry cream chocolates and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the cream and chocolate combine smoothly without cracking or seizing.
  • Keep all tools and utensils completely dry, as even a little water can cause chocolate to seize.
  • Allow each step to chill fully before proceeding to avoid mixing layers or melting the chocolate shells.
  • Work quickly when tempering chocolate, as it cools and hardens fast; have your filling ready before starting.
  • Practice tempering to achieve a glossy finish and perfect snap texture.
