Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons Coconut oil or shortening
- 0.5 cups Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly, leaving the stems intact.
2. Using a small knife or a paring knife, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry by removing the white core.
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry, filling them generously.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
6. Hold each stuffed strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring the stuffed top is mostly covered. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
7. If using optional garnishes like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut, immediately sprinkle or roll the dipped strawberry in the garnish before the chocolate sets.
8. Place the dipped strawberries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Let them rest until the chocolate hardens. You can speed up this process by refrigerating the strawberries for about 10-15 minutes.
9. Serve immediately or store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
