Chocolate Filled Strawberries (Easy Recipe)

These chocolate filled strawberries are perfect for special occasions. This fingerfood dessert is a delicious addition to any sweet table. These would make a great school-safe snack for kids to share with their class on Valentine’s Day. Or enjoy these chocolate stuffed strawberries in the summertime during strawberry season.

Ingredients and substitutions

I like to use chopped dark chocolate when making these treats, but you can substitute any type of chocolate you prefer. Or use chocolate chips if you’d rather skip the step of chopping the chocolate.

Fresh strawberries work best in this recipe. I don’t recommend using frozen strawberries because the end result would be too soggy.

How to Make Chocolate Filled Strawberries

Start by using a sharp paring knife to cut a small slice off the tip of the strawberries, creating a flat surface so the strawberries can stay upright. Next you’ll cut another slice off the opposite end of the strawberries to remove the leaves.

Use the knife to carve out the core of the strawberries, creating a cavity, then place the strawberries upright on a plate.

Add the chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.

Next you’ll transfer the melted dark chocolate to a small bowl. Add the coconut oil, then mix well.

Spoon the chocolate mixture into the hollowed out strawberries, filling them completely.

Place the plate of chocolate strawberries in the fridge to chill for at least 45 minutes before serving.
