Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 150g white chocolate, chopped
  • 30g freeze-dried strawberries
  • 60ml heavy cream
  • 20g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Chopped pistachios or almonds (optional, for crunchy filling)
  • Dark chocolate (optional, to substitute white chocolate shell)
  • Natural red or pink food coloring (optional, for cream filling color)
  • Spirit like Grand Marnier or Chambord (optional, for alcohol infusion)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Cream Filling: Crush the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then gently fold in the strawberry powder (and food coloring if using). Whip the mixture until it thickens into a smooth cream consistency.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  3. Form the Chocolate Shells: Using a small spoon or chocolate molds, coat the inside of each cavity with melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Chill the molds in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to harden the shell.
  4. Fill with Strawberry Cream: Once the chocolate shells are firm, carefully spoon the strawberry cream inside each cavity, leaving a small gap at the top for sealing.
  5. Seal the Chocolates: Reheat a small amount of white chocolate if needed and use it to cover the cream-filled cavities, sealing the chocolates. Return to the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set completely.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate and freeze-dried strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure all ingredients are dry to prevent the chocolate shell from cracking or cream filling from becoming runny.
  • Melt chocolate slowly over low heat to avoid burning or seizing.
  • Work quickly when coating molds, as white chocolate hardens fast.
  • Store finished chocolates in an airtight container away from heat and humidity.
  • Freeze for up to one month; thaw slowly at room temperature to avoid condensation.
