Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or vegetable shortening
- 0.25 cup Crushed graham crackers (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a small paring knife or a strawberry corer, carefully remove the stems and hollow out the center of each strawberry to create room for the filling. Set the prepared strawberries aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into the hollowed-out center of each strawberry until full.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or vegetable shortening). Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip the filled strawberries into the melted chocolate, covering either half or the entire strawberry, depending on your preference. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
If desired, immediately sprinkle the dipped strawberries with crushed graham crackers for extra texture and flavor.
Place the completed strawberries on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Let the chocolate set completely by placing them in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful surprise of these Strawberry Surprises!
