You will love this twist on the traditional chocolate dipped strawberries, but instead stuffing them with a chocolate filling. This dessert has the best complementary flavor with the fruity flavor of strawberries and the creamy chocolate. They are perfect to serve at a Valentine’s Day party, preparing a game day treat, Mother’s Day, baby shower, or any special occasion!
I prepared these chocolate filled strawberries for a book club I attended. They were thoroughly enjoyed and not a single one made it home. I prepared them a few hours ahead of time and stored them in the fridge covered in plastic wrap. They traveled well and just required me to place some of them upright when I arrived as they had fallen over.
Ingredients
- Strawberries: I recommend strawberries that are ripe and large enough to hallow out the inside for the chocolate filling.
- Cream cheese: the base of the delicious cheesecake filling.
- Powdered sugar: to mix with the cream cheese for added sweetness.
- Cocoa powder: For the chocolatey goodness.
- White chocolate candy melts: to drizzle over the top. This is optional, but I highly recommend as they look beautiful.
How to make chocolate stuffed strawberries
Clean your strawberries, cut off the top off the strawberry AND the bottom so they can stand upright.
Next, hollow them out using a pairing knife.
Mix the chocolate filling together in a medium sized bowl. Place the chocolate filling in a Ziploc bag (or a piping bag if you have one). Clip a small corner off the Ziploc bag and squeeze the filling in a circular motion to fill the strawberry.
Melt your white chocolate melts in the microwave and then drizzle them over the top of the strawberries using a spoon.
