Rich and glossy chocolate-covered strawberries filled with smooth cream and topped with flaky sea salt create a perfect sweet-salty treat, ideal for chilling and serving fresh.
Equipment
- 1 microwave-safe bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 spoon or piping bag
- 1 parchment paper
Ingredients
- 12-15 large fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 ounces dark chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter for shine
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly. If desired, slice a small opening on top or cut some strawberries in half for filling.
- Whisk heavy cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Fill the center of each strawberry with the cream mixture using a spoon or piping bag. Chill for 15 minutes to set.
- Combine chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Hold strawberries by the stem and dip them into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place dipped strawberries on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
Notes
- Serve chilled for the best texture.
- Drizzle white chocolate for contrast.
- Add crushed pistachios before chocolate sets.
- Store in the fridge up to 24 hours.
