Chocolate Filled Strawberries
Put the good stuff on the inside by filling your strawberries with chocolate instead of dipping them in chocolate!
Servings: 20 berries
Equipment
- paring knife
Ingredients
- 16-20 strawberries
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)
- ¼ tsp coconut oil
- whipped cream and sprinkles to garnish optional
Instructions
- Follow the steps and video above to hollow out the strawberries and make them stand upright on their own on a cookie sheet fitted with parchment paper.
- Use a double boiler over medium heat to melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together, stirring occasionally. Once the chips are halfway melted, turn the heat off but leave the pot and double boiler on the hot eye.
- Use a ½ teaspoon to gently spoon the melted chocolate into each strawberry one by one. After filling a berry, dip the bottom point in chocolate (just enough to give it a little "foot"), and place back on the parchment paper lined pan.
- Once all berries are filled and dipped on the bottom, carefully transfer to the fridge to harden for at least an hour.
- Decorate with whipped cream and sprinkles as desired. Put any leftover berries in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.
