Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional)
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and gently pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry before proceeding.
Step 2
Using a small paring knife, carefully hollow out the center of each strawberry from the stem side. Be careful not to cut through the bottom. Save the tops if you'd like to use them as a decorative lid.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and heavy cream.
Step 4
Melt the chocolate mixture over a double boiler, stirring frequently, until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, microwave it in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted.
Step 5
If you prefer a sweeter filling, stir in the powdered sugar and mix well until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a piping bag or a small resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off.
Step 7
Carefully pipe the chocolate filling into the hollowed-out centers of the strawberries, filling to the edge.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate for added flavor contrast.
Step 9
Refrigerate the filled strawberries for at least 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy the surprise burst of chocolate goodness with every bite!
